Former state university employee Claude Hobson, who retired in November 2016, saved $8,737 toward a pension over 8 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hobson would collect as much as $283,939, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Hobson received $5,968 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Hobson will have already received $12,115 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
