Former state university employee Cherie Monterastelli, who retired in August 2017, saved $107,303 toward a pension over 20 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Monterastelli would collect as much as $2.01 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.

The projection assumes Monterastelli received $42,182 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Monterastelli will have already received $130,379 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
