Former state university employee Tami Babbs, who retired in March 2017, saved $105,663 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Babbs would collect as much as $2.69 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Babbs received $56,547 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Babbs will have already received $114,790 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
