Former state university employee Paul Twardzik, who retired in January 2019, saved $90,118 toward a pension over 29 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Twardzik would collect as much as $1.7 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Twardzik received $35,712 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Twardzik will have already received $110,381 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
