Former state university employee Jenal Boyd, who retired in April 2016, saved $8,839 toward a pension over 9 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Boyd would collect as much as $188,969, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Boyd received $3,972 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Boyd will have already received $12,277 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
