Former state university employee Gina Colley, who retired in December 2016, saved $107,260 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Colley would collect as much as $1.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Colley received $37,844 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Colley will have already received $116,971 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
