Money 06

Former state university employee Deanna Wood, who retired in January 2018, saved $8,123 toward a pension over 8 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Wood would collect as much as $120,615, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Wood received $2,535 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Wood will have already received $10,605 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
