Former state university employee Cathy Shelton, who retired in June 2016, saved $6,436 toward a pension over 2 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Shelton would collect as much as $420,996, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Shelton received $8,849 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Shelton will have already received $8,849 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
