Money 05

Former state university employee Teressia Hermon, who retired in February 2017, saved $12,485 toward a pension over 9 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hermon would collect as much as $790,851, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Hermon received $16,623 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Hermon will have already received $16,623 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
