Former state university employee Glen Martin, who retired in June 2017, saved $53,843 toward a pension over 21 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Martin would collect as much as $1.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Martin received $23,049 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Martin will have already received $71,241 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
