Former state university employee Kimela Trueblood, who retired in October 2017, saved $27,705 toward a pension over 17 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Trueblood would collect as much as $475,523, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Trueblood received $9,995 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Trueblood will have already received $30,894 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
