Money 02

Former state university employee Sharon Camacho, who retired in March 2019, saved $56,749 toward a pension over 19 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Camacho would collect as much as $823,815, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Camacho received $17,316 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Camacho will have already received $72,442 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
