General Memo 501

Paperwork

Health Insurance Continuation

March 3, 2003

House Bill 3406 (Public Act 86-1444) was passed by the Illinois General Assembly on November 29, 1990. It required IMRF employers that offer health insurance to their active employees to offer the same health insurance to disabled members, retirees, and surviving spouses. This Memorandum supercedes General Memorandum 349. Please consider the original Memorandum repealed in its entirety.

Attached is a statement from the State of Illinois Department of Insurance, which includes a partial interpretation of this law.

Effective immediately, all inquiries concerning the interpretation and enforcement of Public Act 86-1444 should be directed to:
