3.80 B. Police Officers in Cities, Villages, and Incorporated Towns

  1. ”Group V” Police Officers

 

These governmental units were not required by law to establish a police pension fund and had not established a police pension fund by referendum when they came under Social Security either in 1957 as a member of IMRF or when they joined IMRF thereafter. Currently these governmental units are under 5,000 in population and have not formed a police pension fund, according to IMRF records.

Police officers in these governmental units are under IMRF but not under Social Security.

Police officers in these governmental units participate in IMRF, including:

 

Part-time police officers whose positions do not require the hourly standard are not under IMRF. Unless the municipality has provided an alternative pension plan for officers not eligible for IMRF, they are covered by Social Security.

A Change in Group

When a governmental unit reaches a population of 5,000 or forms a police pension fund, its police force may no longer participate in IMRF. A governmental unit reaching 5,000 must form a police pension fund if it has any full-time police officers. If you have a special census that brings you to a population of 5,000 or more, or establish a police pension fund by referendum, please advise IMRF. A change to Group I may be required
