Former state university employee Donald Reed, who retired in January 2017, saved $5,126 toward a pension over 9 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Reed would collect as much as $73,943, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Reed received $1,554 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Reed will have already received $6,502 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
