(305 ILCS 5/12-21.16) (from Ch. 23, par. 12-21.16)
Sec. 12-21.16.
Administrative costs.
In any local governmental unit receiving State funds, moneys expended
for costs of administration, exclusive of any compensation paid to the
Supervisor of General Assistance from funds other than public aid funds,
shall not exceed amounts which have been submitted to and approved by the
Illinois Department.
If a local governmental unit is a participating municipality in the
Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund created by Article 7 of the "Illinois
Pension Code", its estimate of administrative expenses may include amounts
required as contributions by the governmental unit in behalf of its
employees engaged in the administration of public aid for retirement
annuity purposes for current service rendered by such employees on and
after July 1, 1953, provided the governmental unit has levied a tax at a
rate not less than one-half the maximum rate authorized under Section 7-171
of the aforesaid Article.
Contributions for retirement annuity purposes of
employees of the County Department engaged in administration of General
Assistance for such a municipality shall be met from funds appropriated for
the State contribution to the State Employees Retirement System under
Article 14 of the "Illinois Pension Code".
The contributions of a governmental unit for retirement annuity purposes
which are authorized to be included in estimates of administrative expenses
shall include Social Security contributions for which the unit is obligated
under the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund created by Article 7 of the
Illinois Pension Code, or if the governmental unit is not a participating
municipality in that Fund, the Social Security contributions for which it
is obligated pursuant to an agreement executed under Article 21 of the
Illinois Pension Code. In like manner, if the retirement fund established
under Article 9 of the Illinois Pension Code becomes obligated for Social
Security employer contributions, the estimated expenses of the County
Department may include the Social Security contributions together with the
regular contributions for which the county is obligated.
A local governmental unit receiving State funds may include in its
estimate of administrative expenses obligations assumed by it for insurance
premiums or charges for group life or health insurance, or both, for
employees of the local governmental unit, for any such employees who retire
or who had retired on or after January 1, 1966, and for dependents
receiving an annuity as survivors of such employees or retired employees if
the governmental unit has so acted under Section 3 of "An Act defining the
powers and duties of local governmental agencies to pay premiums and costs
or portions thereof, and to withhold parts of employee and elected or
appointed official compensation to provide insurance or retirement benefits
for employees and appointed or elected officials", approved August 16,
1963, as amended, or has so acted in exercise of its powers as a home rule
unit. The amount included for this purpose in the estimate of
administrative expenses shall not exceed the comparable insurance premiums
or charges per employee, retiree, or survivor currently paid by the State
of Illinois for State employees under the "State Employees Group Insurance
Act of 1971".
