Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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 5/11-223.1

(40 ILCS 5/11-223.1) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 11-223.1)

Sec. 11-223.1. Assignment for health, hospital, and medical insurance.

The board may provide, by regulation, that any annuitant or pensioner
may assign his annuity or disability benefit, or any part thereof, for the
purpose of premium payment for a membership for the annuitant, and his or
her spouse and children, in a hospital care plan or
medical surgical plan, provided, however, that the board may, in its
discretion, terminate the right of assignment. Any such hospital or medical
insurance plan may include provision for the beneficiaries thereof who rely
on treatment by spiritual means alone through prayer for healing in
accordance with the tenets and practice of a well-recognized religious
denomination.

Upon the adoption of a regulation permitting such assignment, the board
shall establish and administer a plan for the maintenance of the insurance
plan membership by the annuitant or pensioner.
