Money 01

Former state university employee Susan Larkin, who retired in June 2018, saved $86,512 toward a pension over 22 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Larkin would collect as much as $1.52 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.

The projection assumes Larkin received $32,049 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Larkin will have already received $99,059 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
