Former state university employee Connie Pollock, who retired in June 2016, saved $43,364 toward a pension over 28 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Pollock would collect as much as $1.61 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Pollock received $33,873 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Pollock will have already received $68,762 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
