Money 05

Former state university employee Paula Shaw, who retired in February 2019, saved $42,272 toward a pension over 19 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Shaw would collect as much as $695,362, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.

The projection assumes Shaw received $14,616 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Shaw will have already received $45,176 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
