Former state university employee Steven Weaks, who retired in September 2017, saved $63,204 toward a pension over 23 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Weaks would collect as much as $1.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Weaks received $21,245 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Weaks will have already received $65,665 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
