Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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 5/7-153) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 7-153)

Sec. 7-153.

Total and permanent disability benefits; periodic checks.

The board shall conduct periodic checks to determine if participating
employees who are drawing a total permanent disability benefit remain
totally and permanently disabled. Such checks may consist of periodic
examination by a physician or physicians appointed by the board,
requiring the employee to submit evidence of continuing disability or
absence of gainful employment and such other investigations as the board
may deem appropriate. A written report by a physician appointed by the
board stating that the employee is no longer totally and permanently
disabled shall constitute prima-facie evidence of termination of total
and permanent disability, except as provided in subsection (f) of
Section 7-152.
