Money 07

Former state university employee George Seibel, who retired in August 2017, saved $190,247 toward a pension over 32 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Seibel would collect as much as $7.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Seibel received $151,721 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Seibel will have already received $307,994 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
