Former state university employee Renee Rainey, who retired in December 2017, saved $41,176 toward a pension over 20 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Rainey would collect as much as $721,081, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Rainey received $15,156 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Rainey will have already received $46,846 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
