Former state university employee Stephen Cress, who retired in January 2019, saved $26,624 toward a pension over 13 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Cress would collect as much as $387,644, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Quincy Reporter.

The projection assumes Cress received $8,148 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Cress will have already received $34,087 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
