Former state university employee Patricia Tadda, who retired in May 2018, saved $68,568 toward a pension over 17 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Tadda would collect as much as $1.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Tadda received $25,658 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Tadda will have already received $79,307 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
