Former state university employee Jeanne Robinson, who retired in June 2016, saved $10,252 toward a pension over 8 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Robinson would collect as much as $856,762, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Robinson received $18,008 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Robinson will have already received $18,008 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
