Former state university employee Carolyn Harmon, who retired in July 2016, saved $2,671 toward a pension over 3 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Harmon would collect as much as $141,127, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Harmon received $2,966 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Harmon will have already received $2,966 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
