Former state university employee Hua Hua Chang, who retired in June 2018, saved $232,910 toward a pension over 25 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Chang would collect as much as $3.36 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Chang received $70,604 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Chang will have already received $295,381 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
