Money 01

Former state university employee Lynn Eckstein, who retired in July 2016, saved $12,115 toward a pension over 4 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Eckstein would collect as much as $324,679, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Eckstein received $6,824 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Eckstein will have already received $13,853 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
