Former state university employee Maureen Kelley, who retired in January 2017, saved $27,126 toward a pension over 10 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kelley would collect as much as $405,353, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Kelley received $8,520 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Kelley will have already received $35,645 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
