Money 04

Former state university employee Martin Manalansan, who retired in September 2018, saved $113,728 toward a pension over 20 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Manalansan would collect as much as $2.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Manalansan received $45,470 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Manalansan will have already received $140,543 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
