House Sponsors: WOJCIK. Short description: PEN CD-CHGO TCHR-TRS SURVIVOR Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Chicago Teacher Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Provides that a surviving spouse of a member or annuitant under the Chicago Teacher Article who is also a dependent beneficiary under the provisions of the Downstate Teacher Article is eligible for a reciprocal survivor's pension, provided that any refund of survivor's pension contributions is repaid to the Fund and application is made within 30 days. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately. PENSION NOTE (Pension Laws Commission) The fiscal impact of HB 2142 has not been calculated, but is estimated to be minor, as the number of surviving spouses who would qualify for a reciprocal survivor's pension, per HB 2142, is estimated to be small.
