Former state university employee Elizabeth Objartel, who retired in January 2016, saved $29,013 toward a pension over 10 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Objartel would collect as much as $522,595, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Objartel received $10,984 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Objartel will have already received $33,951 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
