Former state university employee Roberta Geisel, who retired in December 2016, saved $7,649 toward a pension over 9 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Geisel would collect as much as $91,521, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Geisel received $1,923 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Geisel will have already received $8,045 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
