Former state university employee Jerrilyn Pearson Minor, who retired in February 2016, saved $18,840 toward a pension over 6 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Pearson Minor would collect as much as $769,088, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Pearson Minor received $16,165 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Pearson Minor will have already received $32,815 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
