Former state university employee Edwin Hansen, who retired in January 2018, saved $28,987 toward a pension over 12 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hansen would collect as much as $1.39 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Hansen received $29,295 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Hansen will have already received $29,295 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
