Former state university employee Pamella Grohmann, who retired in June 2018, saved $7,323 toward a pension over 6 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Grohmann would collect as much as $520,551, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Grohmann received $10,941 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Grohmann will have already received $10,941 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
