Former state university employee Edward McDowall, who retired in March 2018, saved $1,635 toward a pension over 5 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, McDowall would collect as much as $76,518, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes McDowall received $1,608 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, McDowall will have already received $3,264 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
