 (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 15-136.2)Sec. 15-136.2.     Early retirement without discount.     A participant whose  retirement annuity begins after June 1, 1981 and on or before September 1,  2002 and within six months of the last day of employment for which  retirement contributions were required, may elect at the time of  application to make a one time employee contribution to the System and  thereby avoid the early retirement reduction in retirement annuity  specified under subsection (b) of Section 15-136.  The exercise of the  election shall obligate the last employer to also make a one time  non-refundable contribution to the System.The one time employee and employer contributions shall be a percentage  of the retiring participant's highest full time annual salary rate during  the academic years which were considered in determining his or her final  rate of earnings, or if not full time then the full time equivalent.  The  employee contribution rate shall be 7% multiplied by the lesser of the  following 2 sums: (1) the number of years that the participant is less than  age 60; or (2) the number of years that the participant's creditable  service is less than 35 years.  The employer contribution shall be at the  rate of 20% for each year the participant is less than age 60.  The  employer shall pay the employer contribution from the same source of funds  which is used in paying earnings to employees.Upon receipt of the application and election, the System shall determine  the one time employee and employer contributions.  The provisions of this  Section shall not be applicable until all the above outlined contributions  have been received by the System; however, the date such contributions are  received shall not be considered in determining the effective date of  retirement.Employee and employer contributions under this Section shall be used only  to eliminate the reduction for early retirement under Rules 1 and 3 of Section  15-136 and shall not be used in calculating annuities under Rules 2  or 4  set forth in Section 15-136.  This amendatory Act of the 91st General  Assembly is a clarification of existing law and applies to every participant  and annuitant without regard to whether status as an employee terminates before  the effective date of this amendatory Act.For persons who apply to the Board after the effective date of this  amendatory Act of 1993 and before July 1, 1993, requesting a retirement annuity  to begin no earlier than July 1, 1993 and no later than June 30, 1994, the  employer shall pay both the employee and employer contributions required under  this Section.The number of employees retiring under this Section in any fiscal year  may be limited at the option of the employer to no less than 15% of those  eligible.  The right to elect early retirement without discount shall be  allocated among those applying on the basis of seniority in the service of  the last employer.
