Former state university employee Sharon Warner, who retired in April 2016, saved $2,146 toward a pension over 5 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Warner would collect as much as $75,188, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Warner received $1,580 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Warner will have already received $3,207 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
