Former state university employee Karen Grubb, who retired in January 2016, saved $45,396 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Grubb would collect as much as $1.24 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Grubb received $26,082 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Grubb will have already received $52,946 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
