Money 08

Former state university employee James Schwartz, who retired in February 2019, saved $20,712 toward a pension over 6 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Schwartz would collect as much as $265,470, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Schwartz received $5,580 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Schwartz will have already received $23,343 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
