Former state university employee Clara Loredo, who retired in November 2016, saved $3,577 toward a pension over 7 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Loredo would collect as much as $133,711, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Loredo received $2,810 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Loredo will have already received $5,704 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
