Money 05

Former state university employee Kimberly Schultz, who retired in June 2018, saved $14,895 toward a pension over 8 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Schultz would collect as much as $220,888, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.

The projection assumes Schultz received $4,642 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Schultz will have already received $19,419 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
