Money 04

Former state university employee Mary Pomerantz, who retired in July 2018, saved $783 toward a pension over 6 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Pomerantz would collect as much as $42,817, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Pomerantz received $900 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Pomerantz will have already received $900 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
