Former state university employee Mark Lloyd, who retired in June 2016, saved $39,329 toward a pension over 11 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Lloyd would collect as much as $678,634, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Lloyd received $14,264 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Lloyd will have already received $44,089 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
