Former state university employee Johnny Morton, who retired in May 2018, saved $90,694 toward a pension over 23 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Morton would collect as much as $1.74 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Morton received $36,646 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Morton will have already received $113,268 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
