Former state university employee Cecilia Horodyski, who retired in May 2018, saved $66,479 toward a pension over 22 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Horodyski would collect as much as $2.12 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Horodyski received $44,481 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Horodyski will have already received $90,296 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
