Money 07

Former state university employee Jeffrey McCoy, who retired in September 2018, saved $1,327 toward a pension over 1 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, McCoy would collect as much as $76,586, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes McCoy received $1,609 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, McCoy will have already received $1,609 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
