The Certification Training Program offers Authorized Agents the opportunity to learn about new procedures, changes in the Illinois Pension Code, and other topics that can impact a member’s benefits, such as hourly standards, service credit and wage reporting.

Authorized Agent Certification Workshops are designed for individuals who perform any part of an IMRF Authorized Agent's duties. Whether you are new—or relatively new—to the responsibilities associated with serving as an IMRF Authorized Agent, consider attending a workshop.

Advanced Authorized Agent workshops are designed to address a specific topic related to the duties of the Authorized Agent in more detail. Current topics for Advanced Workshops include "Wage Reporting" and "Purchase of Service: Increasing benefits through the purchase of service credit."

Advanced workshops will be noted as such on the registration schedule, including the topic. If you would like to attend both an Authorized Agent Certification Workshop and an Advanced Authorized Agent workshop, there are several opportunities to attend them on the same day at the same location; however, you will be required to register separately for each workshop.

The impact of 2008 investment returns on individual employer contribution rates is difficult to forecast, since each employer has a unique rate affected by its own demographics and funded status. IMRF will conduct meetings throughout the state to meet with you and other representatives of your employer to discuss IMRF’s recent results, employer rates, and to answer your questions.
