Former state university employee Glenn Miller, who retired in June 2017, saved $6,954 toward a pension over 4 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Miller would collect as much as $494,495, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Miller received $10,393 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Miller will have already received $10,393 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
