Former state university employee Elizabeth Mendeloff, who retired in December 2016, saved $62,532 toward a pension over 8 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Mendeloff would collect as much as $1.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Mendeloff received $21,600 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Mendeloff will have already received $66,763 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
