(40 ILCS 5/13-311) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 13-311)
Sec. 13-311.
Credit for Workers' Compensation payments.
If an
employee, or an employee's spouse or children, receives compensation under any
workers' compensation or occupational diseases law, the benefit payable under this Article
shall be reduced by the amount of the compensation so received if the amount is
less than the annuity or benefit. If the compensation exceeds the annuity or
benefit, no payment of annuity or benefit shall be made until the period of
time has elapsed when the annuity or benefit payable at the rates provided in
this Article equals the amount of such compensation. However, the commutation
of compensation to a lump sum basis as provided in the workers' compensation or
occupational diseases law shall not increase the annuity or benefit provided
under this Article; the annuity or benefit to be paid hereunder shall be based
on the amount of compensation awarded under such laws prior to commutation of
such compensation. No interest shall be considered in these calculations.
