Money 02

Former state university employee Pamela Papp, who retired in March 2016, saved $14,608 toward a pension over 5 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Papp would collect as much as $517,702, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Papp received $10,881 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Papp will have already received $22,088 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
