(40 ILCS 5/9-161) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 9-161)
Sec. 9-161. Re-entry into service. (a) When an employee who has withdrawn from service after the
effective date re-enters service before age 65, any annuity previously
granted and any annuity fixed for his wife shall be cancelled. The
employee shall be credited for annuity purposes with the actuarial value
of annuities equal to those cancelled as of their ages on the date of
re-entry; provided, the maximum age of the wife for this purpose shall
be as provided in Section 9-151 of this Article. The sums so credited
shall provide for annuities to be fixed and granted in the future.
Contributions by the employee and the county for the
purposes of this
Article shall be made and when the proper time arrives, as provided in
this Article, new annuities based upon the total sums accumulated to his
credit for annuity purposes and the entire term of his service shall be
fixed for the employee and his wife.
If the employee's wife has died before he re-entered service, no part
of any credits for widow's or widow's prior service annuity at the time
annuity for his wife was fixed shall be credited upon re-entry into
service, and no such sums shall thereafter be used to provide such
annuity.
(b) When an employee re-enters service after age 65, payments on
account of any annuity previously granted shall be suspended during the
time thereafter that he is in service, and when he again withdraws
annuity payments shall be resumed. If the employee dies in service, his
widow shall receive the annuity previously fixed for her.
(c) If an employee annuitant re-enters service as an election worker and provides services for a scheduled federal, State, or local election for a period of 60 days or less during a calendar year, that employee annuitant's annuity shall not be suspended and such employee annuitant shall not be considered to be in service within the meaning of Section 9-108.3 and is not entitled to benefits for employees in service. If an employee annuitant re-enters service for a period longer than 60 days during a calendar year, the annuity shall be suspended or cancelled retroactive to the initial date of re-entry.
