Money 01

Former state university employee Richard Vanden Heuvel, who retired in October 2016, saved $23,618 toward a pension over 7 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Vanden Heuvel would collect as much as $1.53 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Vanden Heuvel received $32,128 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Vanden Heuvel will have already received $32,128 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
