Former state university employee Joyce Moore, who retired in February 2017, saved $47,823 toward a pension over 27 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Moore would collect as much as $1.13 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Moore received $23,760 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Moore will have already received $48,233 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
