Former state university employee Jo Ann Guynn, who retired in July 2016, saved $69,547 toward a pension over 12 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Guynn would collect as much as $1.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Guynn received $23,413 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Guynn will have already received $72,366 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
