Former state university employee Joseph Malin, who retired in July 2016, saved $7,308 toward a pension over 12 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Malin would collect as much as $253,344, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Malin received $5,325 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Malin will have already received $10,810 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
