Former state university employee Robert Bionaz, who retired in September 2018, saved $83,531 toward a pension over 17 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bionaz would collect as much as $1.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Bionaz received $29,069 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Bionaz will have already received $89,849 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
