Former state university employee G. Lorene Millar Laxton, who retired in July 2018, saved $3,476 toward a pension over 2 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Millar Laxton would collect as much as $265,545, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.

The projection assumes Millar Laxton received $5,581 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Millar Laxton will have already received $5,581 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
