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. 9-133.1.

Automatic increases in annuity for certain heretofore retired
participants.

A retired employee retired at age 55 or over and who (a) is
receiving annuity based on a service credit of 20 or more years, and (b) does
not qualify for the automatic increases in annuity provided for in Sec. 9-133
of this Article, and (c) elects to make a contribution to the Fund at a
time and manner prescribed by the Retirement Board, of a sum equal to 1% of
the final average monthly salary forming the basis of the calculation of
their annuity multiplied by years of credited service, or 1% of their final
monthly salary multiplied by years of credited service in any case where
the final average salary is not used in the calculation, shall have his
original fixed and payable monthly amount of annuity increased in January
of the year following the year in which he attains the age of 65 years, if
such age of 65 years is attained in the year 1969 or later, by an amount
equal to 1 1/2%, and by an equal additional 1 1/2% in January of each year
thereafter.  Beginning with January of the year 1972, such increases shall
be at the rate of 2% in lieu of the aforesaid specified 1 1/2%.  Beginning
with January of the year 1982, such increases shall be at the rate of 3%
in lieu of the aforesaid specified 2%.  Beginning January 1, 1998,
these increases shall be at the rate of 3% of the current amount of the
annuity, including any previous increases received under this Article,
without regard to whether the annuitant is in service on or after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997.

In those cases in which the retired employee receiving annuity has
attained the age of 66 or more years in the year 1969, he shall have such
annuity increased in January of the year 1970 by an amount equal to 1 1/2%
multiplied by the number equal to the number of months of January elapsing
from and including January of the year immediately following the year he
attained the age of 65 years if retired at or prior to age 65, or from and
including January of the year immediately following the year of retirement
if retired at an age greater than 65 years, to and including January of the
year 1970, and by an equal additional 1 1/2% in January of each year
thereafter. Beginning with January of the year 1972, such increases shall
be at the rate of 2% in lieu of the aforesaid specified 1 1/2%.  Beginning
with January of the year 1982, such increases shall be at the rate of 3%
in lieu of the aforesaid specified 2%.  Beginning January 1, 1998,
these increases shall be at the rate of 3% of the current amount of the
annuity, including any previous increases received under this Article,
without regard to whether the annuitant is in service on or after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997.

To defray the annual cost of such increases, the annual interest income
of the Fund, accruing from investments held by the 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.
