Former state university employee Lynn Irvin, who retired in June 2018, saved $2,511 toward a pension over 2 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Irvin would collect as much as $70,221, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.

The projection assumes Irvin received $1,476 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Irvin will have already received $2,996 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
