Former state university employee Debra Kimme, who retired in July 2018, saved $43,538 toward a pension over 10 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kimme would collect as much as $791,599, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Kimme received $16,638 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Kimme will have already received $51,426 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
