(40 ILCS 5/11-171) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 11-171)
Sec. 11-171.
Additional contributions and credits-All employees.
Any employee in service on July 1, 1947, may elect to make an additional
contribution while in service which shall not exceed 7/13 of the sum
accumulated for age and service annuity plus interest on July 1, 1947, or
at age 65, if he attained such age prior thereto. The time and manner of
making such additional contributions shall be prescribed by the board.
Concurrently with each such additional contribution, the city shall
contribute 1 and 4/10 times the additional contribution.
These contributions shall be improved at interest at the effective rate,
in like manner as other employee and city contributions; provided, that the
employee, while in service, may request a refund of all or any part of such
contributions, without interest, or shall have them refunded to him,
without interest when he retires on annuity or to his widow, if and to the
extent they do not serve to increase the annuity otherwise payable to him
or to his widow.
By such refund the employee or his widow surrenders and forfeits all
rights which might otherwise have accrued by virtue of any amount so
refunded, including related city contributions.
