Former state university employee Yonterme Banks, who retired in September 2017, saved $27,801 toward a pension over 13 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Banks would collect as much as $314,739, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.

The projection assumes Banks received $6,615 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 5 years of retirement, Banks will have already received $35,118 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
