Former state university employee Ronald Mrowiec, who retired in April 2017, saved $12,589 toward a pension over 17 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Mrowiec would collect as much as $307,597, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Mrowiec received $6,465 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Mrowiec will have already received $13,124 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
