Former state university employee Rebecca Jarvis, who retired in October 2018, saved $81,143 toward a pension over 27 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Jarvis would collect as much as $1.66 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Jarvis received $34,980 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Jarvis will have already received $108,119 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
