Money 05

Former state university employee Debra Malloch, who retired in December 2018, saved $70,554 toward a pension over 19 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Malloch would collect as much as $1.14 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Malloch received $24,000 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Malloch will have already received $74,182 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
