Former state university employee Sharon Walters, who retired in January 2018, saved $138,428 toward a pension over 34 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Walters would collect as much as $2.52 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Walters received $52,969 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Walters will have already received $163,722 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
