 (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 13-308)Sec. 13-308. Child's annuity.(a) Eligibility.  A child's annuity shall be provided for each unmarried  child under the age of 18 years (under the age of 23 years in the case of a full-time student) whose employee  parent dies while in service, or whose deceased parent is an annuitant or  former employee with at least 10 years of creditable service who did not take a  refund of employee contributions. Eligibility for benefits to unmarried children over the age of 18 but under the age of 23  begins no earlier than September 1, 2005.For purposes of this Section, "employee" includes a former employee, and  "child" means the issue of an employee or a child adopted by an employee.Payments shall cease when a child attains the age of 18 years (age of 23 years in the case of a full-time student) or marries,  whichever first occurs.  The annuity shall not be payable unless the employee  has been employed as an employee for at  least 36 months from the date of the employee's original  entry into service (at least 24 months in the case of an employee who first  entered service before June 13, 1997) and  at least 12 months from the date of the employee's latest  re-entry into service; provided, however, that if death arises out of and  in the course of service to the employer and is compensable under either the  Illinois Workers' Compensation Act or Illinois Workers' Occupational  Diseases Act, the annuity is payable regardless of the employee's length of  service.(b) Amount. Beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly takes effect, a child's annuity shall be $500 per month for  each child, up to a  maximum of $5,000 per month for all children of the employee, as provided in  this Section, if a parent of the child is living.  The child's annuity  shall be $1,000 per month for each child, up to a maximum of $5,000 for all children of  the employee, when neither parent is alive.  The total amount payable to  all children of the employee shall be divided equally among those children.(c) Payment.  Until a child attains the age of 18 years, a    child's annuity shall be paid to the child's parent or  other person who shall be providing for the child without requiring formal  letters of guardianship, unless another person shall be appointed by a  court of law as guardian. Beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly takes effect, benefits shall begin on the first of the month following the employee's or annuitant's date of death and are payable for the full month if the annuitant was alive on the first day of the month.

 (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 13-311)Sec. 13-311.     Credit for Workers' Compensation payments.     If an  employee, or an employee's spouse or children, receives compensation under any  workers' compensation or occupational diseases law, the benefit payable under this Article  shall be reduced by the amount of the compensation so received if the amount is  less than the annuity or benefit.  If the compensation exceeds the annuity or  benefit, no payment of annuity or benefit shall be made until the period of  time has elapsed when the annuity or benefit payable at the rates provided in  this Article equals the amount of such compensation.  However, the commutation  of compensation to a lump sum basis as provided in the workers' compensation or  occupational diseases law shall not increase the annuity or benefit provided  under this Article; the annuity or benefit to be paid hereunder shall be based  on the amount of compensation awarded under such laws prior to commutation of  such compensation.  No interest shall be considered in these calculations.    (Source: P.A. 91-887, eff. 7-6-00.)

Until fiscal year 2013, the Water Reclamation District shall annually  levy a tax upon all the taxable real property within the District at a rate  which, when extended, will produce a sum that (i) when added to the amounts  deducted from the salaries of employees, interest income on investments, and  other income, will be sufficient to meet the requirements of the Fund on an  actuarially funded basis, but (ii) shall not exceed an amount equal to the  total amount of contributions by the employees to the Fund made in the  calendar year 2  years prior to the year for which the tax is levied,  multiplied by 2.19, except that the amount of employee contributions made on  or after January 1, 2003 towards the purchase of additional optional benefits  under Section 13-304.1 shall only be multiplied by 1.00.Beginning in fiscal year 2013, the District shall annually  levy a tax upon all the taxable real property within the District at a rate  which, when extended, will produce a sum that (i) will be sufficient to meet the Fund's actuarially determined contribution requirement, but (ii)  shall not exceed an amount equal to the total employee contributions 2 years prior multiplied by 4.19. The actuarially determined contribution requirement is equal to the employer's normal cost plus the annual amount needed to amortize the unfunded liability by the year 2050 as a level percent of payroll.  The funding goal is to attain a funded ratio of at least 90% by the year 2050, with the funded ratio being the ratio of the actuarial value of assets to the total actuarial liability.The tax shall be  levied and collected in the same manner as the general taxes of the District.The tax shall be exclusive of and in addition to the amount of tax the  District is now or may hereafter be authorized to levy for general purposes  under the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Act or under any other  laws which may limit the amount of tax for general purposes.  The county  clerk of any county, in reducing tax levies as may be authorized by law,  shall not consider any such tax as a part of the general tax levy for  District purposes, and shall not include the same in any limitation of the  percent of the assessed valuation upon which taxes are required to be extended.Revenues derived from the tax shall be paid to the Fund for the benefit  of the Fund.If the funds available for the purposes of this Article are insufficient  during any year to meet the requirements of this Article, the District may  issue tax anticipation warrants or notes, as provided by law, against the  current tax levy.The Board shall submit annually to the Board of Commissioners of the  District an estimate of the amount required to be raised by taxation for  the purposes of the Fund.  The Board of Commissioners shall review the  estimate and determine the tax to be levied for such purposes.  (Source: P.A. 97-894, eff. 8-3-12.)
