Former state university employee Kenneth Currier, who retired in July 2017, saved $84,091 toward a pension over 15 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Currier 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 Currier received $29,085 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Currier will have already received $89,900 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
