Former state university employee Jennifer Moortgat, who retired in January 2016, saved $35,315 toward a pension over 11 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Moortgat would collect as much as $1.63 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Moortgat received $34,262 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Moortgat will have already received $69,552 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
