Former state university employee Maureen Statland, who retired in December 2018, saved $27,577 toward a pension over 9 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Statland would collect as much as $427,607, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Statland received $8,988 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Statland will have already received $27,782 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
