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.

(820 ILCS 405/2201.1) (from Ch. 48, par. 681.1)

Sec. 2201.1.

Interest on overpaid contributions, penalties and
interest.

The Director shall quarterly furnish each employer with a
statement of credit balances in the employer's account where the balances
with respect to all contributions, interest and penalties combined equal or
exceed $2.  Under regulations
prescribed by the Director and subject to the limitations of Section 2201,
the employer may file a request for an adjustment or refund of the amount
erroneously paid.  Interest shall be paid on refunds of erroneously paid
contributions, penalties and interest imposed by this Act, except that if
any refund is mailed by the Director within 90 days after the date of the
refund claim, no interest shall be due or paid.  The interest shall begin
to accrue as of the date of the refund claim and shall be paid at the rate
of 1.5% per month computed at the rate of 12/365 of 1.5% for each day or
fraction thereof. Interest paid pursuant to this Section shall be paid from
monies in the special administrative account established by Sections 2100
and 2101. This Section shall apply only to refunds of contributions,
penalties and interest which were paid as the result of wages paid after
January 1, 1988.
