Former state university employee Susan Leninger, who retired in June 2016, saved $49,893 toward a pension over 8 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Leninger would collect as much as $1.08 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Leninger received $22,787 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Leninger will have already received $70,433 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
