Former state university employee Carol Haug, who retired in August 2018, saved $67,946 toward a pension over 20 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Haug would collect as much as $1.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.

The projection assumes Haug received $28,144 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Haug will have already received $86,990 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
