Money 06

Former state university employee Janilyn Daily, who retired in January 2019, saved $95,774 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Daily would collect as much as $1.82 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Daily received $38,160 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Daily will have already received $117,949 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
