Former state university employee Nancy Still, who retired in July 2018, saved $52,538 toward a pension over 24 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Still would collect as much as $994,664, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Still received $20,907 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Still will have already received $64,621 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
