Former state university employee Edward Stewart, who retired in June 2017, saved $81,078 toward a pension over 19 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Stewart would collect as much as $1.35 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Stewart received $28,366 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Stewart will have already received $87,677 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
