Former state university employee Norbert Furumo, who retired in January 2018, saved $65,167 toward a pension over 16 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Furumo would collect as much as $2.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Furumo received $43,401 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Furumo will have already received $88,104 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
