 (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 16-136.4)Sec. 16-136.4.     Single-sum retirement benefit.(a) A member who has less than 5 years of creditable service shall be  entitled, upon written application to the board, to receive a retirement  benefit payable in a single sum upon or after the member's attainment of  age 65.  However, the benefit shall not be paid while the member is  employed as a teacher in the schools included under this Article or Article  17, unless the System is required by federal law to make payment due to the  member's age.(b) The retirement benefit shall consist of a single sum that is the  actuarial equivalent of a life annuity consisting of 1.67% of the member's  final average salary for each year of creditable service.  In determining  the amount of the benefit, a fractional year shall be granted proportional  credit.For the purposes of this Section, final average salary shall be the  average salary of the member's highest 4 consecutive years of service  as determined under rules of the board.  For a member with less than 4  consecutive years of service, final average salary shall be the average  salary during the member's entire period of service.  In the determination  of final average salary for members other than elected officials and their  appointees when such appointees are allowed by statute, that part of a  member's salary which exceeds the member's annual full-time salary rate  with the same employer for the preceding year by more than 20% shall be  excluded.  The exclusion shall not apply in any year in which the member's creditable  earnings are less than 50% of the preceding year's mean salary for downstate  teachers as determined by the survey of school district salaries provided in  Section 2-3.103 of the School Code.(c) The retirement benefit determined under this Section shall be  available to all members who render teaching service after July 1, 1947 for  which member contributions are required.(d) Upon acceptance of the retirement benefit, all of the member's  accrued rights and credits in the System are forfeited.  Receipt of a  single-sum retirement benefit under this Section does not make a person an  "annuitant" for the purposes of this Article, nor a "benefit recipient" for  the purposes of Sections 16-153.1 through 16-153.4.
