Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

40 ILCS 5/16-136

    (40 ILCS 5/16-136) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 16-136)
    Sec. 16-136. Reversionary annuity. A member entitled to a retirement annuity may elect at the time of retirement to receive a reduced retirement annuity and provide with the actuarial value of the reduction, determined on an actuarial equivalent basis, a reversionary annuity for any person who is dependent upon the member at the time of retirement, as named in a written direction filed with the system as a part of the application for the retirement annuity, provided that the reversionary annuity is not less than $10 per month, nor more than the reduced retirement annuity to which the member is entitled. The condition of dependency must be established and proved to the satisfaction of the system before the election becomes effective.
    The reversionary annuity shall begin as of the first day of the month following the month in which the death of the annuitant occurs, provided, that the designated beneficiary is then living. If the designated beneficiary predeceases the annuitant, the reversionary annuity shall not be payable, and beginning the first of the month following notification of the designated beneficiary's death, the System shall pay the annuitant the retirement annuity he or she would have received but for the reversionary annuity election.
