Sec. 11-154.
Amount of child's annuity.
Beginning on the effective date
of this amendatory Act of 1997, the
amount of a child's annuity shall be $220 per month for each child
while
the spouse of the deceased employee parent survives, and $250 per
month for
each child when no such spouse survives, and shall be subject to the
following limitations:
(1) If the combined annuities for the widow and children of an employee
whose death resulted from injury incurred in the performance of duty, or
for the children where a widow does not exist, exceed 70% of the employee's
final monthly salary, the annuity for each child shall be reduced pro rata
so that the combined annuities for the family shall not exceed such
limitation;
(2) For the family of an employee whose death is the result of any cause
other than injury incurred in the performance of duty, in which the
combined annuities for the family exceed 60% of the employee's final
monthly salary, the annuity for each child shall be reduced pro rata so
that the combined annuities for the family shall not exceed such
limitation.
A child's annuity shall be paid to the parent who is providing for the
child, unless another person has been appointed the child's legal guardian.
The increase in child's annuity provided by this amendatory Act of
1997 shall apply to all child's annuities being paid on or after
the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997. The limitations on the combined annuities for a
family
in parts (1) and (2) of this Section do not apply to
families of employees who died before the effective date of this amendatory Act
of 1997.
