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.

Sec. 15-113.3.
Service for periods of military service.
"Service for
periods of military service": Those periods, not exceeding 5 years, during
which a person served in the armed forces of the United States, of which
all but 2 years must have immediately followed a period of employment
with an employer under this System or the State Employees' Retirement
System of Illinois; provided that the person received a discharge other
than dishonorable and again became an employee under this System within one
year after discharge. However, for the up to 2 years of military service
not immediately following employment, the applicant must make contributions
to the System equal to (1) 8% of the employee's basic compensation on the last date as a
participating employee prior to such military service, or on the first date as
a participating employee after such military service, whichever is greater,
plus (2) an amount determined by the board to be equal to the employer's normal
cost of the benefits accrued for such military service, plus (3) interest on
items (1) and (2) at the effective rate from the later of the date of first
membership in the System or the date of conclusion of military service to the
date of payment. The change in the required contribution for purchased
military credit made by this amendatory Act of 1993 does not entitle any person
to a refund of contributions already paid. The contributions paid under this
Section are not normal contributions as defined in Section 15-114 or additional
contributions as defined in Section 15-115.
The changes to this Section made by this amendatory Act of 1991 shall
apply not only to persons who on or after its effective date are in service
under the System, but also to persons whose employment terminated prior to
that date, whether or not the person is an annuitant on that date. In the
case of an annuitant who applies for credit allowable under this Section
for a period of military service that did not immediately follow
employment, and who has made the required contributions for such credit,
the annuity shall be recalculated to include the additional service credit,
with the increase taking effect on the date the System received written
notification of the annuitant's intent to purchase the credit, if
payment of all the required contributions is made within 60 days of such
notice, or else on the first annuity payment date following the date of
payment of the required contributions. In calculating the automatic annual
increase for an annuity that has been recalculated under this Section, the
increase attributable to the additional service allowable under this
amendatory Act of 1991 shall be included in the calculation of automatic
annual increases accruing after the effective date of the recalculation.
