Money 02

Former state university employee Linda Allhands, who retired in April 2017, saved $59,024 toward a pension over 20 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Allhands would collect as much as $1.02 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Allhands received $21,527 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Allhands will have already received $66,538 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
