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. 16-151.
Refund.
Upon termination of employment as a teacher for
any cause other than death or retirement, a member shall be paid the
following amount upon demand made at least 4 months after ceasing to teach:
(1) from the Benefit Trust Reserve, the actual total |
| contributions paid by or on behalf of the member for membership service which have not been previously refunded and which are then credited to the member's individual account in the Benefit Trust Reserve, without interest thereon, and
|
|
(2) from the Benefit Trust Reserve, the actual
|
| contributions not previously refunded, paid by or on behalf of the member for prior service and towards the cost of the automatic annual increase in retirement annuity as provided under Section 16-152, without interest thereon.
|
|
Any such amounts may be paid to the member either in one sum or, at the
election of the board, in 4 quarterly payments.
Contributions credited to a member for periods of disability as provided in
Sections 16-149 and 16-149.1 are not refundable.
Upon acceptance of a refund, all accrued rights and credits in the
System are forfeited and may be reinstated only if the refund is repaid
together with interest from the date of the refund to the date of repayment
at the following rates compounded annually: for periods prior to July 1,
1965, regular interest; for periods from July 1, 1965 to June 30, 1977,
4% per year; for periods on and after July 1, 1977, regular interest.
Repayment shall be permitted upon return to membership; however, service
credit previously forfeited by a refund and
subsequently reinstated may not be used as a basis for the payment of
benefits, other
than a refund of contributions, prior to the completion of one year of creditable
service following the refund, except when
repayment is permitted under the provisions of the "Retirement Systems
Reciprocal Act" contained in Article 20.
