Former state university employee Miriam Molina, who retired in November 2017, saved $53,353 toward a pension over 17 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Molina would collect as much as $1.02 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.

The projection assumes Molina received $21,520 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Molina will have already received $66,517 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
