Former state university employee Janet Watson, who retired in March 2018, saved $9,096 toward a pension over 11 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Watson would collect as much as $448,759, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Quincy Reporter.

The projection assumes Watson received $9,432 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Watson will have already received $9,432 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
