Former state university employee Wilma Flowers Rice, who retired in November 2016, saved $47,414 toward a pension over 21 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Flowers Rice 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 Flowers Rice received $44,637 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Flowers Rice will have already received $90,613 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
