Money 01

Former state university employee William Olivero, who retired in February 2018, saved $240,910 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Olivero would collect as much as $7.46 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Olivero received $156,894 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Olivero will have already received $318,495 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
