Former state university employee Pamela Clarkin, who retired in July 2017, saved $329 toward a pension over 2 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Clarkin would collect as much as $91,316, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Clarkin received $1,919 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Clarkin will have already received $1,919 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
