Former state university employee Michael Demattei, who retired in June 2017, saved $122,790 toward a pension over 28 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Demattei would collect as much as $2.78 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Demattei received $58,400 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Demattei will have already received $180,509 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
