Money759

Former state university employee Scharlene Akers, who retired in January 2019, saved $237 toward a pension over 3 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Akers would collect as much as $42,817, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Akers received $900 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Akers will have already received $900 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
