Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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 5/7-209

    (40 ILCS 5/7-209) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 7-209)
    Sec. 7-209. Earnings and Interest.
    (a) Balances at the beginning of each year which remain in employee reserves at the end of the year shall be credited with interest annually at the prescribed rate.
    (b) Municipality reserves shall be charged or credited, as the case may be, with interest at the prescribed rate applied to the balance therein at the beginning of the year.
    (c) Municipality accounts receivable shall be charged with interest at a rate of 1/2% per month before July 1, 1984, and 1% per month thereafter on the balance therein unpaid one month or more. The unpaid balance shall include charges established retroactively because of failure of the municipality to report amounts which should be receivable. Credit balances shall be disregarded in this calculation.
    (d) The annuity total and permanent disability reserves shall be credited with interest at the prescribed rate at the end of each year. For purposes of this computation, the prescribed rate shall be applied to the balances therein at the beginning of the year.
    (e) Amounts credited or charged under subsection (a), (b), (c), or (d) of this Section shall be charged or credited to the earnings and experience variation reserve. Any remaining balance, in excess of the contingency balance established, shall be transferred to the municipality reserves in proportion to present values of the annuities of the annuitants of each participating municipality and participating instrumentality plus the balance in their municipality reserve.
    (f) The Board shall fix the rate of interest, to be charged on back, retroactive, or reinstatement contributions.
