Money 03

Former state university employee Vicky Miller, who retired in March 2016, saved $45,783 toward a pension over 14 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Miller would collect as much as $821,400, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.

The projection assumes Miller received $17,265 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Miller will have already received $53,364 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
