Former state university employee Jane Seymour, who retired in June 2016, saved $298 toward a pension over 1 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Seymour would collect as much as $104,681, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Seymour received $2,200 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Seymour will have already received $2,200 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
