Former state university employee Sandra Green, who retired in June 2016, saved $18,059 toward a pension over 17 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Green would collect as much as $404,354, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Green received $8,499 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Green will have already received $26,270 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
