Elected officials (and city hospital workers) have the option of participating in IMRF.
It is the policy of the IMRF Board of Trustees to require that the governing body of the employer determine, by resolution, that the position of a governing body member qualifies for IMRF participation before an official in that position begins participation.
All other non-governing body elected officials must submit an election to participate (IMRF Form, “Election to Participate for Qualifying Position”) which is certified by the authorized agent.
Refer to 3.65 E. Elected Officials , 3.65F.1 County Board Members, and 3.65 F.2. City Council, Village Board and Board of Town Trustees for more information.
Note: For information about paid members of appointed governing bodies, see paragraph 3.65 G. Paid Members of Appointed Governing Body.
Members can access this form by visiting the Member Access area on IMRF's website (www.imrf.org).
To use IMRF’s suggested form of resolution, send a secure message to request a “Administrative Termination of the Resolution for IMRF Participation by Governing Body Officials” form. If unable to send a secure message, contact IMRF through the employer-only phone number at 1-800-728-7971
