Former state university employee Andrea Miller Nevels, who retired in July 2018, saved $104,061 toward a pension over 26 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Miller Nevels would collect as much as $2.89 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Miller Nevels received $60,708 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Miller Nevels will have already received $123,237 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
