Former state university employee Suzanne Ryerson, who retired in July 2016, saved $131,390 toward a pension over 31 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Ryerson would collect as much as $2.85 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Ryerson received $59,972 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Ryerson will have already received $185,367 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
