Former state university employee Georgianne Scholz, who retired in February 2017, saved $6,866 toward a pension over 5 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Scholz would collect as much as $477,305, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Scholz received $10,032 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Scholz will have already received $10,032 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
