Former state university employee James Bollenbach, who retired in July 2017, saved $62,185 toward a pension over 16 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bollenbach would collect as much as $1.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Bollenbach received $21,674 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Bollenbach will have already received $66,992 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
