Money 01

Former state university employee Ann Hudson, who retired in June 2016, saved $17,926 toward a pension over 10 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hudson would collect as much as $603,851, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Hudson received $12,692 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Hudson will have already received $25,765 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
