Former state university employee Linda Blair, who retired in January 2017, saved $37,851 toward a pension over 14 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Blair would collect as much as $637,135, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Blair received $13,392 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Blair will have already received $41,394 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
