Former state university employee Consuelo Alexander, who retired in January 2018, saved $46,560 toward a pension over 24 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Alexander would collect as much as $1.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Alexander received $23,302 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Alexander will have already received $47,303 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
