Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(40 ILCS 5/15-152) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 15-152)
Sec. 15-152. Disability benefits - Duration. Disability benefits shall be discontinued when the earliest of the following
occurs: (1) when disability ceases, (2) upon refusal
of the participant to submit to a reasonable physical
examination by a physician approved by the board, (3) upon refusal of
the participant to accept any position, assigned in good faith by an
employer, the duties of which could reasonably be performed by the participant
and the earnings of which would be at least equal to the disability benefit
payable under this Article, (4) upon September 1,
following the participant's 70th birthday,
if the disability benefit commenced prior to attainment of age 65, (5)
the end of the month following the fifth anniversary of the
date disability benefits commenced, if such benefits began after the
attainment of age 65, (6) when the total disability
benefits paid equal 50% of the participant's
total earnings for the entire period of
employment for which service has been granted prior to the date
disability benefits began to accrue, or (7) upon failure of the participant to provide an earnings verification necessary to determine continuance of benefits. If the disability was caused by
an on-the-job accident, and the participant is granted workers'
compensation or occupational disease payments from the employer or the
State of Illinois, the limitation in clause (6) shall not be applicable.
Service and earnings credits under the State Employees' Retirement
System of Illinois and the Teachers' Retirement System of the State of
Illinois shall be considered in determining the employee's eligibility
for, and the duration of disability benefits.
If, by law, a function of a governmental unit, as
defined by Section 20-107 is transferred in whole or in
part to an employer and an employee transfers employment from the
governmental unit to such employer within 6 months after the transfer of
this function, the pension credits in the governmental unit's retirement
system which have been validated under
Section 20-109, shall be treated the same as pension credits in this Section
in determining an employee's eligibility
for, and the duration of disability benefits.
