Short description: PEN CD-IMRF-COMPOUND 3% INCRS Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Compounds the 3% annual increase in retirement, surviving spouse, and disability annuities, beginning with the increase due on January 1, 2002. Specifies that the last supplemental benefit payment (13th check) is payable on July 1, 2001. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately. PENSION IMPACT NOTE, REVISED (Illinois Pension Law Commission) According to IMRF, providing compounded annual increases to all current and future beneficiaries would increase the accrued liabilities of the Fund by $780.9 million ($724.7 million for regular employees and $56.2 million for SLEP employees). The corresponding increase in average annual cost (including nor- moral cost) is estimated to be 1.49% of payroll for regular IMRF employers and 2.77% of payroll for SLEP employers, assum- ing amortization of the increase in accrued liabilities over 30 years. This cost would be reduced by a savings of 0.62% of payroll from discontinuing the supplemental benefit payment. Therefore, the total annual cost associated with HB 0965 is 0.87% of payroll for regular IMRF employers and 2.15% of payroll for SLEP employers. The required contributions (as percent of payroll) may vary widely among employers.
