Former state university employee William Kahle, who retired in December 2016, saved $628 toward a pension over 6 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kahle would collect as much as $22,990, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Kahle received $483 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Kahle will have already received $980 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
