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.

Sec. 5-167.2. Retirement before September 1, 1967.

A retired
policeman, qualifying for minimum annuity or who retired from service
with 20 or more years of service, before September 1, 1967, shall, in
January of the year following the year he attains the age of 65, or in
January of the year 1970, if then more than 65 years of age, have his
then fixed and payable monthly annuity increased by an amount equal to
2% of the original grant of annuity, for each year the policeman was in
receipt of annuity payments after the year in which he attains, or did
attain the age of 63.  An additional 2% increase in such then fixed and
payable original granted annuity shall accrue in each January thereafter.
Beginning January 1, 1986, the rate of such increase shall be 3% instead of 2%.

The provisions of the preceding paragraph of this Section apply only to
a retired policeman eligible for such increases in his annuity who contributes
to the Fund a sum equal to $5 for each full year of credited service upon
which his annuity was computed.  All such sums contributed shall be placed
in a Supplementary Payment Reserve and shall be used for the purposes of
such Fund account.

Beginning with the monthly annuity payment due in July, 1982, the fixed
and granted monthly annuity payment for any policeman who retired from the
service, before September 1, 1976, at age 50 or over with 20 or more years
of service and entitled to an annuity on January 1, 1974, shall be not less
than $400.  It is the intent of the General Assembly that the change made in
this Section by this amendatory Act of 1982 shall apply retroactively to July
1, 1982.

Beginning with the monthly annuity payment due on January 1, 1986, the
fixed and granted monthly annuity payment for any policeman who retired
from the service before January 1, 1986, at age 50 or over with 20 or more
years of service, or any policeman who retired from service due to
termination of disability and who is entitled to an annuity on January 1,
1986, shall be not less than $475.

Beginning with the monthly annuity payment due on January 1, 1992, the
fixed and granted monthly annuity payment for any policeman who retired
from the service before January 1, 1992, at age 50 or over with 20 or more
years of service, and for any policeman who retired from service due to
termination of disability and who is entitled to an annuity on January 1,
1992, shall be not less than $650.

Beginning with the monthly annuity payment due on January 1, 1993, the
fixed and granted monthly annuity payment for any policeman who retired
from the service before January 1, 1993, at age 50 or over with 20 or more
years of service, and for any policeman who retired from service due to
termination of disability and who is entitled to an annuity on January 1,
1993, shall be not less than $750.

Beginning with the monthly annuity payment due on January 1, 1994, the
fixed and granted monthly annuity payment for any policeman who retired
from the service before January 1, 1994, at age 50 or over with 20 or more
years of service, and for any policeman who retired from service due to
termination of disability and who is entitled to an annuity on January 1,
1994, shall be not less than $850.

Beginning with the monthly annuity payment due on January 1, 2004, the
fixed and granted monthly annuity payment for any policeman who retired
from the service before January 1, 2004, at age 50 or over with 20 or more
years of service, and for any policeman who retired from service due to
termination of disability and who is entitled to an annuity on January 1,
2004, shall be not less than $950.

Beginning with the monthly annuity payment due on January 1, 2005, the
fixed and granted monthly annuity payment for any policeman who retired
from the service before January 1, 2005, at age 50 or over with 20 or more
years of service, and for any policeman who retired from service due to
termination of disability and who is entitled to an annuity on January 1,
2005, shall be not less than $1,050.

Beginning with the monthly annuity payment due on January 1, 2016, the fixed and granted monthly annuity payment for any policeman who retired from the service before January 1, 2016, at age 50 or over with 20 or more years of service, and for any policeman who retired from service due to termination of disability and who is entitled to an annuity on January 1, 2016,  shall be no less than 125% of the Federal Poverty Level. For purposes of this Section, the "Federal Poverty Level" shall be determined pursuant to the poverty guidelines updated periodically in the Federal Register by the United States Department of Health and Human Services under the authority of 42 U.S.C. 9902(2).

The difference in amount between the original fixed and granted monthly
annuity of any such policeman on the date of his retirement from the service
and the monthly annuity provided for in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be paid as a supplement in the manner set forth
in the immediately following paragraph.

To defray the annual cost of the increases indicated in the preceding
part of  this Section, the annual interest income accruing from
investments held by this Fund, exclusive of gains or losses on sales
or exchanges of assets during the year, over and above 4% a year shall
be used to the extent necessary and available to finance the cost of
such increases for the following year and such amount shall be
transferred as of the end of each year beginning with the year 1969 to a
Fund account designated as the Supplementary Payment Reserve from the
Interest and Investment Reserve set forth in Section 5-207.

In the event the funds in the Supplementary Payment Reserve in any year
arising from: (1) the interest income accruing in the preceding  year above 4%
a year and (2) the contributions by retired persons are insufficient to
make the total payments to all persons entitled
to the annuity specified in this Section and (3) any interest
earnings over 4% a year beginning with the year 1969 which were not
previously used to finance such increases and which were transferred
to the Prior Service Annuity Reserve, may be used to the extent necessary
and available to provide sufficient funds to finance such increases
for the current year and such sums shall be transferred from the Prior
Service Annuity Reserve.  In the event the total money available in
the Supplementary Payment Reserve from such sources are insufficient
to make the total payments to all persons entitled to such increases
for the year, a proportionate amount computed as the ratio of the
money available to the total of the total payments specified for that
year shall be paid to each person for that year.

The Fund shall be obligated for the payment of the increases in
annuity as provided for in this Section only to the extent that the
assets for such purpose are available.
