Former state university employee Lynette Toussaint, who retired in June 2017, saved $19,048 toward a pension over 15 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Toussaint would collect as much as $277,499, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Toussaint received $5,832 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Toussaint will have already received $24,399 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
