Former state university employee Susan Dorbeck, who retired in January 2016, saved $65,256 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Dorbeck would collect as much as $1.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Dorbeck received $40,347 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Dorbeck will have already received $81,904 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
