Former state university employee Mary Shultz, who retired in June 2016, saved $69,613 toward a pension over 17 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Shultz would collect as much as $1.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Shultz received $21,885 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Shultz will have already received $91,560 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
