Money041

Former state university employee Gail Gill, who retired in January 2016, saved $12,094 toward a pension over 21 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Gill would collect as much as $356,690, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Gill received $7,497 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Gill will have already received $15,219 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
