Former state university employee Mark Weisbrot, who retired in August 2018, saved $24,436 toward a pension over 5 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Weisbrot would collect as much as $798,245, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Weisbrot received $16,778 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Weisbrot will have already received $34,059 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
