Former state university employee Karen Whalon, who retired in June 2016, saved $57,149 toward a pension over 31 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Whalon would collect as much as $1.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Whalon received $33,069 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Whalon will have already received $67,130 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
