 (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 17-117.1)Sec. 17-117.1. Duty disability. A teacher who becomes wholly and  presumably permanently incapacitated for duty while under age  65 as the proximate result of injuries sustained or a hazardous  condition encountered in the performance and within the scope of his  duties, if such injury or hazard was not the result of his own  negligence, shall be entitled to a duty disability benefit, provided:(1) application for the benefit is made to the Board     not more than 6 months after a final settlement or an award from the Illinois Workers' Compensation  Commission or within 6 months of the manifestation of an injury or illness that can be traced directly to an injury or illness for which a claim was filed with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission;(2) certification is received from 2 or more     physicians designated by the Board that the teacher is physically incapacitated for teaching service; and(3) the teacher provides the Board with a copy of the     notice of the occurrence that was filed with the Employer within the time provided by law.The benefit shall be payable during disability and shall be 75% of  the salary in effect at date of disability, payable until the teacher's  attainment of age 65. At such time if disability still exists, the  teacher shall become entitled to a service retirement pension.  Creditable service shall accrue during the period the disability benefit  is payable.Before any action is taken by the Board on an application for a  duty  disability benefit, the teacher shall file a claim with the Illinois Workers' Compensation          Commission to establish that the disability was incurred while the  teacher was acting within the scope of and in the course of his duties  under the terms of the Workers' Compensation or Occupational Diseases  Acts, whichever may be applicable. The benefit shall be payable after a  finding by the Commission that the claim was compensable under either of  the aforesaid Acts; but if such finding is appealed the benefit shall be  payable only upon affirmance of the Commission's finding. After the  teacher has made timely application for a duty disability benefit  supported by the certificate of two or more physicians, he shall be  entitled to a disability retirement pension provided in Section 17-117  of this Act until such time as the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission award finding  that his disability is duty-connected as provided in this Section  becomes final.Any amounts provided for the teacher under such Acts shall be applied  as an offset to the duty disability benefit payable hereunder in such  manner as may be prescribed by the rules of the Board.

 (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 17-118)Sec. 17-118.     Disability pension administration.     A disability  pensioner may be required to submit to an examination periodically by a  physician or physicians appointed by the Board. The purpose of  the  examination is to establish whether the disability still exists and to  determine whether the person is still incapacitated for teaching service  or service as an employee of the Board. The Board  may require disability  pensioners to submit evidence of the continued existence of the  disability. The Board may also employ investigative services to  determine whether such pensioners are employed elsewhere as teachers or  to establish whether they are still disabled.The Board shall cancel a disability pension upon evidence that  a  pensioner is no longer incapacitated for teaching or service as an  employee of the Board. However, if a pensioner has attained age  55 and  has 20 or more years of service, the pension shall not be cancelled  unless he is re-employed as a teacher or as a pensioner-substitute. If a  disability pensioner is re-employed as a teacher or  pensioner-substitute, the pension shall be cancelled on the first day of  re-employment. The pensioner shall reimburse the Fund for pension  payments received after the date of re-employment (if any), plus 5%  interest compounded annually beginning one year after the Fund's  notification of the cancellation and indebtedness. Upon cancellation of  a disability pension, unless such person re-enters service and becomes a  contributor, a refund shall be payable of the excess, if any, of the  refundable contributions paid by him over the amount  paid in disability  pension.

 (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 17-119)Sec. 17-119.     Automatic annual increase in pension.     Each teacher  retiring on or after September 1, 1959, is entitled to the annual  increase in pension, defined herein, while he is receiving a  pension from the Fund.1.  The term "base pension" means a service retirement or disability  retirement pension in the amount fixed and payable at the date of  retirement of a teacher.2.  The annual increase in pension shall be at the rate of 1 1/2% of  base pension. This increase shall first occur in January of the year  next following the first anniversary of retirement. At such time the  Fund shall pay the pro rata part of the increase for the period  from the  first anniversary date to the date of the first increase in  pension. Beginning January 1, 1972, the rate of annual increase in  pension shall be 2% of the base pension. Beginning January 1, 1979, the  rate of annual increase in pension shall be 3% of the base pension.  Beginning January 1, 1990, all automatic annual increases payable under  this Section shall be calculated as a percentage of the total pension  payable at the time of the increase, including all increases previously  granted under this Article, notwithstanding Section 17-157.3. An increase in pension shall be granted only if the retired  teacher is age 60 or over. If the teacher attains age 60 after  retirement, the increase in pension shall begin in January of the  year following the 61st birthday. At such time the Fund also shall  pay  the pro rata part of the increase from the 61st birthday to the date of  first increase in pension.In addition to other increases which may be provided by this Section, on  January 1, 1981 any teacher who was receiving a retirement pension on or  before January 1, 1971 shall have his retirement pension then being paid  increased $1 per month for each year of creditable service.  On January  1, 1982, any teacher whose retirement pension began on or before January 1,  1977, shall have his retirement pension then being paid increased $1 per  month for each year of creditable service.On January 1, 1987, any teacher whose retirement pension began  on or before January 1, 1977, shall have the monthly retirement pension  increased by an amount equal to 8¢ per year of creditable service times the  number of years that have elapsed since the retirement pension began.

 (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 17-120)Sec. 17-120.     Reversionary pension.     Any contributor, at any  time prior to retirement on a service  retirement pension, may exercise an option of taking a lesser amount of  service retirement pension and providing with the remainder of his equity,  determined on an actuarial equivalent basis, a reversionary pension benefit  for any person named in a written designation filed by the contributor with  the Board, provided that the pension resulting from such election  is not  less than $40 per month, or more than the reduced pension payable after the  exercise of the option.  If the reduced pension to the retired teacher is  less than that provided for a beneficiary, whether or not the aforesaid  minimum amount is payable, the election shall be void.The pension to a beneficiary shall begin on the first day of the month  next following the month in which the retired teacher dies.If the beneficiary survives the date of retirement of the teacher, but does  not survive the retired teacher, no reversionary pensions shall be payable,  and the teacher's service pension shall be restored  to the full service pension amount beginning on the first day of the month next  following the month in which the beneficiary dies or on the effective date  of this amendatory Act of 1997, whichever occurs later.If the beneficiary dies after the election but before the  retirement of the teacher, the election shall be void.  No change shall be  permitted in the written designation filed with the Board.In the case of a reversionary annuity elected on or after January 1,  1984, no reversionary annuity shall be paid if the teacher dies before the  expiration of 730 days from the date that a written designation was filed  with the Board, even though the teacher was receiving a reduced  annuity.Sections 1-103.1 and 17-157 do not apply to the changes made to this  Section by this amendatory Act of 1997.

For a teacher who  dies on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1991, this  benefit shall be equal to the last month's base rate of salary, subject  to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Article, for each  year of validated service, not to exceed 6 times such salary, or $10,000,  whichever is less.  The single payment death benefit shall be paid in the  manner prescribed for a refund of contributions to the Fund.Death benefits shall be paid only on written application to the  Board.
