Former state university employee Haas paid in $1K to pension fund, could collect $78K in retirement

Money 01

Former state university employee Andrew Haas, who retired in February 2016, saved $1,312 toward a pension over 24 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Haas would collect as much as $78,145, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Haas received $1,642 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Haas will have already received $1,642 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
