Money 01

Former state university employee Wesley McNeese, who retired in August 2017, saved $227,864 toward a pension over 17 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, McNeese would collect as much as $3.9 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes McNeese received $81,886 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, McNeese will have already received $253,102 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
