Money 03

Former state university employee Cynthia Davey, who retired in January 2016, saved $8,127 toward a pension over 2 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Davey would collect as much as $184,944, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Davey received $3,887 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Davey will have already received $12,015 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
