Money 07

Former state university employee Jayna Marrinan, who retired in January 2019, saved $28,421 toward a pension over 10 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Marrinan would collect as much as $350,535, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Marrinan received $7,368 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Marrinan will have already received $30,826 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
