Money 04

Former state university employee Dian Hoover, who retired in February 2017, saved $23,056 toward a pension over 13 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hoover would collect as much as $339,745, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Hoover received $7,141 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Hoover will have already received $29,875 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
