Former state university employee Stephen De Rosa, who retired in January 2017, saved $66,929 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, De Rosa would collect as much as $1.65 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes De Rosa received $34,648 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, De Rosa will have already received $70,335 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
