Money 05

Former state university employee Terri Jones, who retired in April 2016, saved $88,595 toward a pension over 36 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Jones would collect as much as $2.74 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Jones received $57,605 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Jones will have already received $116,938 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
