Former state university employee James Kearney, who retired in January 2017, saved $4,757 toward a pension over 12 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kearney would collect as much as $73,190, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Kearney received $1,538 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Kearney will have already received $6,435 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
