Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

    (a) Upon receipt by the fund of a written application therefor. The effective date may be not more than 6 months prior to the receipt by the fund of the application. However, if an employee executes an application and delay in filing is caused by negligence or fault of any officer or employee of the applicant's municipality or participating instrumentality, the effective date may be the later of 30 days prior to the date the application is executed or one year prior to the date received by the fund.
    (b) Once a month as of the end of each calendar month;
    (c) For less than a month in a fraction equal to that created by making the number of days of disability in the month the numerator and the number of the days in the month the denominator;
    (d) To the beneficiary of a deceased participating employee for the unpaid amount accrued to the date of death;
    (e) For a period ending on the last day of the month when the total period during which temporary disability benefits are paid equals 1/2 of the total period of service (excluding periods of disability) of the employee as of the date of his disability or 30 months, whichever is the lesser; provided that when a participating employee becomes disabled within 5 years of a previous period or periods of temporary or total and permanent disability, temporary disability benefits shall be payable for a period not to exceed the lesser of 30 months or a period computed as follows:
    1. the lesser of 30 months or 1/2 of the total service preceding the first period of disability within such 5-year period;
    2. less the total amount of all periods of disability within said 5-year period;
    3. plus 1/2 of the total amount of service (excluding periods of disability) subsequent to the first period of disability within such 5-year period;
    (f) while the temporary disability continues.
