Former state university employee Catherine Moore, who retired in June 2016, saved $139,789 toward a pension over 27 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Moore would collect as much as $3.29 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Moore received $69,082 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Moore will have already received $140,236 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
