      Summary

      Certain increases in reported earnings during a member's Final Rate of Earnings period result in additional pension costs. Some payments made to retiring employees must be certified in an open meeting by your governing body. IMRF employers must request a Pension Impact Statement before increasing the earnings of officers, executives, or managers by 12% or more.

The IMRF website provides a brief summary of IMRF benefits and the administration of those benefits. IMRF members' and employers' rights and obligations are governed by Article 7 of the Illinois Pension Code. Statements on the IMRF website are general, and the Illinois state law governing IMRF is complex and specific. If a conflict arises between information in the IMRF website and the law, all decisions are based on the law.
