The effect of HB 962 on individual employers will vary according to the num- ber of current and future duty disabilitants. Currently, duty disability benefits for SLEP and regular employees of IMRF are equal to 50% of the salary received at the time of disability. HB 962 provides a duty disability benefit of 65% of salary for SLEP employees, but does not change the duty disability amount for regular IMRF members.
