Former state university employee Kelly Sill, who retired in May 2016, saved $8,731 toward a pension over 11 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Sill would collect as much as $124,051, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Sill received $2,607 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Sill will have already received $10,907 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
