Illinois Code § 9-170

§ 9-170.

Contributions for age and service annuities for present employees, future entrants and re-entrants. (a) Beginning on the effective date as to a present employee in paragraph (a) or (c) of Section 9-109, or as to a future entrant in paragraph (a) of Section 9-110, and beginning on September 1, 1935 as to a present employee in paragraph (b) (1) of Section 9-109 or as to a future entrant in paragraph (b) or (d) of Section 9-110, and beginning from the date of becoming a contributor as to any present employee in paragraph (b)(2) or (d) of Section 9-109, or any future entrant in paragraph (c) or (e) of Section 9-110, there shall be deducted and contributed to this fund 3 1/4% of each payment of salary for age and service annuity until July 1, 1947. Beginning July 1, 1947 and prior to July 1, 1953, 5% and beginning July 1, 1953, and prior to September 1, 1971, 6%; and beginning September 1, 1971, 6 1/2% of each payment of salary of such employees shall be deducted and contributed for such purpose. From and after January 1, 1966, each deputy sheriff as defined in Section 9-128.1 who is a member of the County Police Department and a participant of this fund shall contribute 7% of salary for age and service annuity. At the time of retirement on annuity, a deputy sheriff who is a member of the County Police Department, who chooses to retire under provisions of this Article other than Section 9-128.1, may receive a refund of the difference between the contributions made as a deputy sheriff who is a member of the County Police Department and the contributions that would have been made for such service not as a deputy sheriff who is a member of the County Police Department, including interest earned. Such deductions beginning on the effective date and prior to July 1, 1947 shall be made and continued for a future entrant while he is in the service until he attains age 65, and beginning on the effective date and prior to July 1, 1953 for a present employee while he is in the service until the amount so deducted from his salary or paid by him according to law to any county pension fund in force on the effective date, with interest on both such amounts at 4% per annum, equals the sum that would have been to his credit from sums deducted from his salary if deductions at the rate herein stated had been made during his entire service until he attained age 65, with interest at 4% per annum for the period subsequent to his attainment of age 65. Such deductions beginning July 1, 1947 for future entrants and beginning July 1, 1953 for present employees shall be made and continued while such future entrant or present employee is in the service. (b) Concurrently with each employee contribution, the county shall contribute beginning on the effective date and prior to July 1, 1947, 5 3/4%, and beginning on July 1, 1947 and prior to July 1, 1953, 7%; and beginning on July 1, 1953, 6% of each payment of such salary until the employee attains age 65. (c) Each present employee contribution made prior to the date the age and service annuity for such employee is fixed, each future entrant contribution, and each corresponding county contribution shall be allocated to the account of and credited to the employee for whose benefit it is made.
