Money 03

Former state university employee Richard Canfield, who retired in May 2018, saved $23,195 toward a pension over 13 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Canfield would collect as much as $378,464, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.

The projection assumes Canfield received $7,955 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Canfield will have already received $24,589 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
