Money 05

Former state university employee Betty Heggemeier, who retired in October 2016, saved $76,932 toward a pension over 28 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Heggemeier would collect as much as $1.61 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Heggemeier received $33,760 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Heggemeier will have already received $104,349 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
