Money 05

Former state university employee Janet Woelber, who retired in November 2016, saved $20,963 toward a pension over 2 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Woelber would collect as much as $188,655, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Woelber received $3,965 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 5 years of retirement, Woelber will have already received $21,052 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
