Former state university employee Nathan Stucky, who retired in July 2018, saved $166,247 toward a pension over 29 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Stucky would collect as much as $3.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Stucky received $80,698 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Stucky will have already received $249,430 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
