Former state university employee Jeanette Molden, who retired in March 2019, saved $113,786 toward a pension over 27 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Molden would collect as much as $2.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Molden received $43,200 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Molden will have already received $133,527 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
