Former state university employee Julie Hannen, who retired in July 2018, saved $75,839 toward a pension over 32 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hannen would collect as much as $1.79 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Hannen received $37,716 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Hannen will have already received $76,563 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
