Former state university employee Sandra Reeds, who retired in January 2016, saved $63,164 toward a pension over 27 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Reeds would collect as much as $1.5 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Reeds received $31,526 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Reeds will have already received $63,998 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
