Former state university employee Sofia Frolova, who retired in February 2018, saved $12,972 toward a pension over 2 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Frolova would collect as much as $87,919, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Frolova received $1,848 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 7 years of retirement, Frolova will have already received $14,158 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
