Former state university employee Mary Pollard, who retired in August 2016, saved $7,797 toward a pension over 4 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Pollard would collect as much as $568,632, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Pollard received $11,952 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Pollard will have already received $11,952 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
