Former state university employee Rebecca McGee, who retired in August 2018, saved $25,939 toward a pension over 14 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, McGee would collect as much as $333,037, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes McGee received $7,000 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, McGee will have already received $29,285 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
