Money 02

Former state university employee Susan Cisco, who retired in August 2018, saved $211,018 toward a pension over 25 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Cisco would collect as much as $3.78 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Cisco received $79,464 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Cisco will have already received $245,615 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
