Former state university employee Norman Altman, who retired in April 2019, saved $100,540 toward a pension over 19 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Altman would collect as much as $1.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Altman received $32,868 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Altman will have already received $101,592 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
