Money 02

Former state university employee Linda Kane, who retired in July 2017, saved $239 toward a pension over 1 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kane would collect as much as $164,791, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Kane received $3,463 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Kane will have already received $3,463 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
