Money 06

Former state university employee Patrick Devlieger, who retired in January 2016, saved $106,423 toward a pension over 8 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Devlieger would collect as much as $1.3 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Devlieger received $27,401 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Devlieger will have already received $114,636 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
