Former state university employee Patrick Miceli, who retired in June 2016, saved $9,529 toward a pension over 13 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Miceli would collect as much as $168,451, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Miceli received $3,540 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Miceli will have already received $10,941 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
