Former state university employee Aurelia Maslana, who retired in January 2017, saved $163,990 toward a pension over 29 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Maslana would collect as much as $2.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.

The projection assumes Maslana received $58,923 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Maslana will have already received $182,126 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
