14participants of specified retirement systems established under
15this Code. This package replaces certain benefits and employee
16contributions otherwise provided for in Section 1-160 of this
17Code and the Articles of this Code that govern those retirement

HB6149- 10 -LRB097 21047 JDS 68367 b

1calculation of any refund, transfer, or other benefit under the
2applicable Article.
3    The amounts to be credited to the cash balance account

5participant as employee contributions, (ii) attributable
6employer contributions, and (iii) return on investment that is
7attributable to the account, all as provided in this Section.

11balance account, except that the balance in the account shall
12not be less than zero.
13    Whenever necessary for the prompt calculation or
14administration of a benefit under this Section, the applicable
15retirement system may estimate an amount to be credited to or
16debited from a participant's cash balance account and then
17adjust the amount so credited or debited when more accurate

12    The amount of these contributions shall be credited to the
13participant's cash balance account upon receipt by the
14retirement system.
15    (e) Attributable Employer Contributions. Upon receipt of
16each employee contribution under subsection (d), an amount
17representing the employer contribution shall be credited to the
18participant's cash balance account. The attributable employer
19contribution shall be equal to (1) 100% of the employee
20contribution, for contributions paid during a calendar year on
21salary up to the Social Security Wage Base for that year, and
2250% of the employee contribution, for contributions paid during
23that year on salary over the Social Security Wage Base for that
24year, less (2) the amount designated by the retirement system
25under subsection (i) of this Section as representing the cost
26of providing disability benefits.

 

 

HB6149- 12 -LRB097 21047 JDS 68367 b

1    The attributable employer contribution to be credited to
2the participant's account is not the same as the actual
3employer contributions required under the provisions of the
4applicable Article of this Code.
5    (f) Attributable Earnings on Investments. An amount
6representing earnings on investments shall be determined by the
7retirement system and credited to the participant's cash

10the average daily balance in the cash balance account during
11that year, equal to the system's rate of investment earnings in
12the previous year, but in no case less than 5% or more than 10%
13of the average daily balance in the cash balance account.
14    (g) Retirement Annuity. A participant in the cash balance
15plan may begin collecting a retirement annuity at age 67, or in
16the case of a participant with at least 20 years of special
17formula employment, at age 60, but in either case no earlier
18than the date of termination of active employment under the
19retirement system.
20    The amount of the retirement annuity shall be calculated by
21the retirement system, based on the balance in the cash balance
22account, the assumption of future investment returns of 5%, and
23any other actuarial assumptions and tables adopted by the board
24of the retirement system for this purpose. The calculation
25shall take into account the cost of the retirement annuity, the
26annual increases in retirement annuity, and, if the participant

 

 

HB6149- 13 -LRB097 21047 JDS 68367 b

1has an eligible survivor, the anticipated survivor's annuity
2and the annual increases in that annuity. The calculation shall
3be designed to determine the initial retirement annuity that
4would result in the balance in the participant's account
5arriving at zero on the date when the last payment of the
6retirement annuity (or survivor's annuity, if the participant
7has an eligible survivor) is anticipated to be paid under the
8relevant actuarial assumptions.

10annuity shall be subject to annual increases on each January 1
11occurring on or after the attainment of age 67 or the first
12anniversary of the annuity start date, whichever is later. Each
13annual increase shall be a percentage of the originally granted
14retirement annuity, equal to 3% or one-half of the annual
15unadjusted percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index-U
16for the 12 months ending with the preceding September as
17certified under subsection (o) of this Section, whichever is
18less. If that annual unadjusted percentage change is zero or
19there is a decrease, then the annuity shall not be increased.
20    (i) Disability Benefits. The disability benefits provided
21under the applicable retirement system apply to participants in
22the cash balance plan, subject to and in accordance with the
23eligibility and other provisions of the applicable Article.
24Retirement due to disability under item (a)2(C) of Section
252-119, under Section 14-126, 15-153.2 or 16-149.2, or under
26subdivision (a)(2) of Section 18-124 shall be deemed a

 

 

HB6149- 14 -LRB097 21047 JDS 68367 b

1disability benefit for the purposes of this Section, but
2payments of these disability retirement benefits shall be
3subject to debit from the cash balance count under subsection
4(c) of this Section.
5    The board of each retirement system subject to this Section
6shall designate annually, as a percentage of salary, an amount
7representing the anticipated average cost of providing
8disability benefits for a participant in the cash balance plan.
9The amount so designated shall not exceed 1% of the
10participant's salary and shall be used for the sole purpose of
11calculating attributable employer contributions under
12subsection (e) of this Section.
13    (j) Return to Service. Upon a return to full-time permanent
14employment under the same retirement system after beginning to
15receive a retirement annuity under the cash balance plan, the
16retirement annuity shall be suspended and active participation
17in the cash balance plan shall resume. Upon termination of the
18employment, the retirement annuity shall resume in an amount to
19be recalculated in accordance with subsection (g), taking into
20effect the changes in the cash balance account; but the resumed
21annuity shall in no event be less than the amount of annuity
22payable at the time it was suspended.
23    (k) Survivor's Annuity. The initial survivor's annuity of
24an otherwise eligible survivor of a retired participant in the
25cash balance plan shall be in the amount of 66 2/3% of the
26retired participant's retirement annuity at the date of death.

 

 

HB6149- 15 -LRB097 21047 JDS 68367 b

1    In the case of the death of a participant in the cash
2balance plan who was not retired, eligibility for a survivor's
3annuity shall be determined under the applicable Article of
4this Code. The initial benefit shall be 66 2/3% of the
5retirement annuity that would have been payable under this
6Section if the deceased participant had retired on the date of
7death, based on the participant's account balance but
8disregarding the minimum age required for retirement. A child's
9or parent's annuity for an otherwise eligible child or
10dependent parent shall be in the amount, if any, prescribed
11under the applicable Article.
12    (l) Annual Increase in Survivor's Annuity. A survivor's
13annuity shall be increased (i) on each January 1 occurring on
14or after the commencement of the annuity if the deceased
15participant died while receiving a retirement annuity, or (ii)
16in other cases, on each January 1 occurring after the first
17anniversary of the commencement of the annuity. Each annual
18increase shall be a percentage of the originally granted
19survivor's annuity, equal to 3% or one-half of the annual
20unadjusted percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index-U
21for the 12 months ending with the preceding September as
22certified under subsection (o) of this Section, whichever is
23less. If that annual unadjusted percentage change is zero or
24there is a decrease, then the annuity shall not be increased.

19    (a) Effective July 1, 1967, each participant is required to
20contribute 7 1/2% of each payment of salary toward the
21retirement annuity. Such contributions shall continue during
22the entire time the participant is in service, with the
23following exceptions:
24        (1) Contributions for the retirement annuity are not
25    required on salary received after 18 years of service by

 

 

HB6149- 50 -LRB097 21047 JDS 68367 b

1    persons who were participants before January 2, 1954.
2        (2) A participant who continues to serve as a judge
3    after becoming eligible to receive the maximum rate of
4    annuity may elect, through a written direction filed with
5    the Board, to discontinue contributing to the System. Any
6    such option elected by a judge shall be irrevocable unless
7    prior to January 1, 2000, and while continuing to serve as
8    judge, the judge (A) files with the Board a letter
9    cancelling the direction to discontinue contributing to
10    the System and requesting that such contributing resume,
11    and (B) pays into the System an amount equal to the total
12    of the discontinued contributions plus interest thereon at
13    5% per annum. Service credits earned in any other
14    "participating system" as defined in Article 20 of this
15    Code shall be considered for purposes of determining a
16    judge's eligibility to discontinue contributions under
17    this subdivision (a)(2).
18        (3) A participant who (i) has attained age 60, (ii)
19    continues to serve as a judge after becoming eligible to
20    receive the maximum rate of annuity, and (iii) has not
21    elected to discontinue contributing to the System under
22    subdivision (a)(2) of this Section (or has revoked any such
23    election) may elect, through a written direction filed with
24    the Board, to make contributions to the System based only
25    on the amount of the increases in salary received by the
26    judge on or after the date of the election, rather than the

 

 

HB6149- 51 -LRB097 21047 JDS 68367 b

1    total salary received. If a judge who is making
2    contributions to the System on the effective date of this
3    amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly makes an
4    election to limit contributions under this subdivision
5    (a)(3) within 90 days after that effective date, the
6    election shall be deemed to become effective on that
7    effective date and the judge shall be entitled to receive a
8    refund of any excess contributions paid to the System
9    during that 90-day period; any other election under this
10    subdivision (a)(3) becomes effective on the first of the
11    month following the date of the election. An election to
12    limit contributions under this subdivision (a)(3) is
13    irrevocable. Service credits earned in any other
14    participating system as defined in Article 20 of this Code
15    shall be considered for purposes of determining a judge's
16    eligibility to make an election under this subdivision
17    (a)(3).
18    (b) Beginning July 1, 1969, each participant is required to
19contribute 1% of each payment of salary towards the automatic
20increase in annuity provided in Section 18-125.1. However, such
21contributions need not be made by any participant who has
22elected prior to September 15, 1969, not to be subject to the
23automatic increase in annuity provisions.
24    (c) Effective July 13, 1953, each married participant
25subject to the survivor's annuity provisions is required to
26contribute 2 1/2% of each payment of salary, whether or not he

 

 

HB6149- 52 -LRB097 21047 JDS 68367 b

1or she is required to make any other contributions under this
2Section. Such contributions shall be made concurrently with the
3contributions made for annuity purposes.
4    (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article,
5the required contributions for a Tier 2 participant who first
6becomes a participant on or after January 1, 2011 shall not
7exceed the contributions that would be due under this Article
8if that participant's highest salary for annuity purposes were
9$106,800, plus any increase in that amount under Section
1018-125.

15retirement annuity shall be computed by each participating
16system in which pension credit has been established on the
17basis of pension credits under each system. The computation
18shall be in accordance with the formula or method prescribed by
19each participating system which is in effect at the date of the
20employee's latest withdrawal from service covered by any of the
21systems in which he has pension credits which he elects to have
22considered under this Article. However, (1) the amount of any
23retirement annuity payable under the self-managed plan
24established under Section 15-158.2 of this Code depends solely
25on the value of the participant's vested account balances and

5Section and is not subject to any proportional adjustment under
6this Section.
7    Combined pension credit under all retirement systems
8subject to this Article shall be considered in determining
9whether the minimum qualification has been met and the formula
10or method of computation which shall be applied. If a system
11has a step-rate formula for calculation of the retirement
12annuity, pension credits covering previous service which have
13been established under another system shall be considered in
14determining which range or ranges of the step-rate formula are
15to be applicable to the employee.
16    Interest on pension credit shall continue to accumulate in
17accordance with the provisions of the law governing the
18retirement system in which the same has been established during
19the time an employee is in the service of another employer, on
20the assumption such employee, for interest purposes for pension
21credit, is continuing in the service covered by such retirement
22system.

3survivor's annuity purposes in those participating systems
4which provide survivor's annuities, according to the same
5conditions and subject to the same limitations and restrictions
6herein prescribed for a retirement annuity. If a participating

17payable by any other participating system, but pension credit
18established in any other system shall not result in any right

8annuities exceed the highest annuity which would have been
9payable by any participating system in which the employee has
10pension credits, if all of his pension credits had been
11validated in that system.
12    If the combined annuities should exceed the highest maximum
13as determined in accordance with this Section, the respective
14annuities shall be reduced proportionately according to the
15ratio which the amount of each proportional annuity bears to
16the aggregate of all such annuities; except that benefits
17payable under the cash balance plan established under Section

4    he or she had participated in the traditional benefit
5    package as defined in Section 15-103.1 rather than the
6    self-managed plan.
7        (ii) For purposes of calculating the combined
8    survivor's annuity and the proportionate reduction, if
9    any, in a survivor's annuity other than one payable under
10    the self-managed plan, the amount of the Article 15
11    survivor's annuity shall be deemed to be the highest
12    survivor's annuity to which the survivor would have been
13    entitled if the deceased employee had participated in the
14    traditional benefit package as defined in Section 15-103.1
