Return to Work After Retirement

If you return to work for the City, Board of Education, Park District, Police Department, Fire Department or a Retirement Board, then your annuity will be suspended. If you return to work at a job which is covered by a reciprocal system from which you are receiving a proportional annuity under the Reciprocal Act, your proportional annuity from all participating systems will be suspended during your period of re-employment. The provisions of the retirement plan which would cover such employment are used to determine whether you have returned to employment under that system.

If you are considering employment with any governmental employers within the state of Illinois, please contact LABF to find out if such employment will affect your annuity.

When you subsequently retire, your annuity will begin again. The original annuity amount will be recalculated to reflect the additional service if you have rendered at least three years of additional LABF service.
