Money 08

Former state university employee Verilillian Wynn, who retired in December 2016, saved $60,226 toward a pension over 19 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Wynn would collect as much as $1.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Wynn received $21,143 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Wynn will have already received $65,350 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
