Money 01

Former state university employee Janine Cavicchia, who retired in June 2016, saved $102,024 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Cavicchia would collect as much as $2.53 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Cavicchia received $53,235 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Cavicchia will have already received $108,067 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
