(40 ILCS 5/11-143) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 11-143)
Sec. 11-143.
Widow's annuity - Present employees and future
entrants - Withdrawal and death before age 55.
The widow of an employee with 10 or more years of service who
withdraws before age 55 and who dies while out of service before age 55
shall be entitled to an annuity computed on a single life annuity basis
at the date of death from the following sums accumulated to his credit:
(1) If service is 20 or more years, the total credits for age and
service annuity and widow's annuity, and, in addition, if he was a
present employee, the total credits for prior service annuity and
widow's prior service annuity; or
(2) If service is 10 or more but less than 20 years, the total
credits for age and service annuity and widow's annuity from
employee contributions plus
1/10 of the total credits for age and service annuity
and widow's annuity from city contributions for each year of service
after the first 10 years of service, and, for the widow of a present
employee, 1/10 of the total credits for prior service and widow's prior
service annuity from city contributions for each year of service after
the first 10 years.
No city contributions shall be used for a widow's annuity in excess
of that which she would receive if the employee had lived until he
attained age 55 and had not re-entered the service and an annuity were
fixed for her on a reversionary annuity basis as of her age when her
husband would have attained age 55.
