Former state university employee Laurel Leibowitz, who retired in June 2018, saved $46,352 toward a pension over 18 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Leibowitz would collect as much as $856,197, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Leibowitz received $17,996 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Leibowitz will have already received $55,624 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
