Former state university employee Rosemary Meganck, who retired in April 2016, saved $28,899 toward a pension over 6 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Meganck would collect as much as $1.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Meganck received $22,903 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Meganck will have already received $46,493 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
