||||
Public Act 094-0109 |
||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning State government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 | ||||
is amended by changing Section 8 as follows:
| ||||
(5 ILCS 375/8) (from Ch. 127, par. 528)
| ||||
Sec. 8. Eligibility.
| ||||
(a) Each member eligible under the provisions of this Act | ||||
and any rules
and regulations promulgated and adopted hereunder | ||||
by the Director shall
become immediately eligible and covered | ||||
for all benefits available under
the programs. Members electing | ||||
coverage for eligible dependents shall have
the coverage | ||||
effective immediately, provided that the election is properly
| ||||
filed in accordance with required filing dates and procedures | ||||
specified by
the Director.
| ||||
(1) Every member originally eligible to elect | ||||
dependent coverage, but not
electing it during the original | ||||
eligibility period, may subsequently obtain
dependent | ||||
coverage only in the event of a qualifying change in | ||||
status, special
enrollment, special circumstance as | ||||
defined by the Director, or during the
annual Benefit | ||||
Choice Period.
| ||||
(2) Members described above being transferred from | ||||
previous
coverage towards which the State has been | ||||
contributing shall be
transferred regardless of | ||||
preexisting conditions, waiting periods, or
other | ||||
requirements that might jeopardize claim payments to which | ||||
they
would otherwise have been entitled.
| ||||
(3) Eligible and covered members that are eligible for | ||||
coverage as
dependents except for the fact of being members | ||||
shall be transferred to,
and covered under, dependent | ||||
status regardless of preexisting conditions,
waiting |
periods, or other requirements that might jeopardize claim | ||
payments
to which they would otherwise have been entitled | ||
upon cessation of member
status and the election of | ||
dependent coverage by a member eligible to elect
that | ||
coverage.
| ||
(b) New employees shall be immediately insured for the | ||
basic group
life insurance and covered by the program of health | ||
benefits on the first
day of active State service. Optional | ||
coverages or benefits, if elected
during the relevant | ||
eligibility period, will become effective on the date
of | ||
employment. Optional coverages or benefits applied for after | ||
the
eligibility period will be effective, subject to | ||
satisfactory evidence of
insurability when applicable, or | ||
other necessary qualifications, pursuant to
the requirements | ||
of the applicable benefit program, unless there is a change in
| ||
status that would confer new eligibility for change of | ||
enrollment under rules
established supplementing this Act, in | ||
which event application must be made
within the new eligibility | ||
period.
| ||
(c) As to the group health benefits program contracted to | ||
begin or
continue after June 30, 1973, each retired employee | ||
shall become immediately
eligible and covered for all benefits | ||
available under that program. Retired
employees may elect | ||
coverage for eligible dependents and shall have the
coverage | ||
effective immediately, provided that the election is properly
| ||
filed in accordance with required filing dates and procedures | ||
specified
by the Director.
| ||
Except as otherwise provided in this Act, where husband and | ||
wife are
both eligible members, each shall be enrolled as a | ||
member and coverage on
their eligible dependent children, if | ||
any, may be under the enrollment and
election of either.
| ||
Regardless of other provisions herein regarding late | ||
enrollment or other
qualifications, as appropriate, the
| ||
Director may periodically authorize open enrollment periods | ||
for each of the
benefit programs at which time each member may | ||
elect enrollment or change
of enrollment without regard to age, |
sex, health, or other qualification
under the conditions as may | ||
be prescribed in rules and regulations
supplementing this Act. | ||
Special open enrollment periods may be declared by
the Director | ||
for certain members only when special circumstances occur that
| ||
affect only those members.
| ||
(d) Beginning with fiscal year 2003 and for all subsequent | ||
years, eligible
members may elect not to participate in the | ||
program of health benefits as
defined in this Act. The election | ||
must be made during the annual benefit
choice period, subject | ||
to the conditions in this subsection.
| ||
(1) Members must furnish proof of health benefit | ||
coverage, either
comprehensive major medical coverage or | ||
comprehensive managed care plan,
from a source other than | ||
the Department of Central Management Services in
order to | ||
elect not to participate in the program.
| ||
(2) Members may re-enroll in the Department of Central | ||
Management Services
program of health benefits upon | ||
showing a qualifying change in status, as
defined in the | ||
U.S. Internal Revenue Code, without evidence of | ||
insurability
and with no limitations on coverage for | ||
pre-existing conditions, provided
that there was not a | ||
break in coverage of more than 63 days.
| ||
(3) Members may also re-enroll in the program of health | ||
benefits during
any annual benefit choice period, without | ||
evidence of insurability.
| ||
(4) Members who elect not to participate in the program | ||
of health benefits
shall be furnished a written explanation | ||
of the requirements and limitations
for the election not to | ||
participate in the program and for re-enrolling in the
| ||
program. The explanation shall also be included in the | ||
annual benefit choice
options booklets furnished to | ||
members.
| ||
(d-5) Beginning July 1, 2005, the Director may establish a | ||
program of financial incentives to encourage annuitants | ||
receiving a retirement annuity from the State Employees | ||
Retirement System, but who are not eligible for benefits under |
the federal Medicare health insurance program (Title XVIII of | ||
the Social Security Act, as added by Public Law 89-97) to elect | ||
not to participate in the program of health benefits provided | ||
under this Act. The election by an annuitant not to participate | ||
under this program must be made in accordance with the | ||
requirements set forth under subsection (d). The financial | ||
incentives provided to these annuitants under the program may | ||
not exceed $150 per month for each annuitant electing not to | ||
participate in the program of health benefits provided under | ||
this Act.
| ||
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or the | ||
rules adopted
under this Act, if a person participating in the | ||
program of health benefits as
the dependent spouse of an | ||
eligible member becomes an annuitant, the person may
elect, at | ||
the time of becoming an annuitant or during any subsequent | ||
annual
benefit choice period, to continue participation as a | ||
dependent rather than
as an eligible member for as long as the | ||
person continues to be an eligible
dependent.
| ||
An eligible member who has elected to participate as a | ||
dependent may
re-enroll in the program of health benefits as an | ||
eligible member (i)
during any subsequent annual benefit choice | ||
period or (ii) upon showing a
qualifying change in status, as | ||
defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code,
without evidence of | ||
insurability and with no limitations on coverage for
| ||
pre-existing conditions.
| ||
A person who elects to participate in the program of health | ||
benefits as
a dependent rather than as an eligible member shall | ||
be furnished a written
explanation of the consequences of | ||
electing to participate as a dependent and
the conditions and | ||
procedures for re-enrolling as an eligible member. The
| ||
explanation shall also be included in the annual benefit choice | ||
options booklet
furnished to members.

(2) In addition, any position titles with the Speaker | ||
of the House of Representatives, the Minority Leader of the | ||
House of Representatives, the President of the Senate, the | ||
Minority Leader of the Senate, the Attorney General, the | ||
Secretary of State, the Comptroller, the Treasurer, the | ||
Auditor General, the Supreme Court, the Court of Claims, | ||
and each legislative agency are eligible for the | ||
alternative retirement cancellation payment provided in | ||
this Section. | ||
(c) In lieu of any retirement annuity or other benefit | ||
provided under this Article, a person who qualifies for and | ||
elects to receive the alternative retirement cancellation | ||
payment under this Section shall be entitled to receive a | ||
one-time lump sum retirement cancellation payment equal to the | ||
amount of his or her contributions to the System (including any |
employee contributions for optional service credit and | ||
including any employee contributions paid by the employer or | ||
credited to the employee during disability) as of the date of | ||
termination, with regular interest, multiplied by 2.
| ||
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, a | ||
person who receives an alternative retirement cancellation | ||
payment under this Section thereby forfeits the right to any | ||
other retirement or disability benefit or refund under this | ||
Article, and no widow's, survivor's, or death benefit deriving | ||
from that person shall be payable under this Article. Upon | ||
accepting an alternative retirement cancellation payment under | ||
this Section, the person's creditable service and all other | ||
rights in the System are terminated for all purposes, except | ||
for the purpose of determining State group life and health | ||
benefits for the person and his or her survivors as provided | ||
under the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971. | ||
(e) To the extent permitted by federal law, a person who | ||
receives an alternative retirement cancellation payment under | ||
this Section may direct the System to pay all or a portion of | ||
that payment as a rollover into another retirement plan or | ||
account qualified under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as | ||
amended. | ||
(f) Notwithstanding Section 14-111, a person who has | ||
received an alternative retirement cancellation payment under | ||
this Section and who reenters
service under this Article other | ||
than as a temporary employee must repay to the System the | ||
amount by which that alternative retirement cancellation | ||
payment exceeded the amount of his or her refundable employee | ||
contributions within 60 days of resuming employment under this | ||
System. For the purposes of re-establishing creditable service | ||
that was terminated upon election of the alternative retirement | ||
cancellation payment, the portion of the alternative | ||
retirement cancellation payment representing refundable | ||
employee contributions shall be deemed a refund repayable in | ||
accordance with Section 14-130. | ||
(g) The Commission on Government Forecasting and |
Accountability shall determine
and report to the Governor and | ||
the General
Assembly, on or before January 1, 2007, its | ||
estimate of (1) the annual amount of payroll savings likely to | ||
be
realized by the State as a result of the early termination | ||
of persons receiving
the alternative retirement cancellation | ||
payment under this Section and (2) the net annual savings
or | ||
cost to the State from the program of alternative retirement | ||
cancellation payments under this Section. | ||
The System, the Department of Central Management Services, | ||
the
Governor's Office of Management and Budget, and all other | ||
departments shall provide to the Commission any
assistance that | ||
the Commission may request with respect to its report under
| ||
this Section. The Commission may require departments to provide | ||
it with any
information that it deems necessary or useful with | ||
respect to its reports under
this Section, including without | ||
limitation information about (1) the final
earnings of former | ||
department employees who elected to receive alternative | ||
retirement cancellation payments under
this Section, (2) the | ||
earnings of current department employees holding the
positions | ||
vacated by persons who elected to receive alternative | ||
retirement cancellation payments under this
Section, and (3) | ||
positions vacated by persons who elected to receive alternative | ||
retirement cancellation payments
under this Section that have | ||
not yet been refilled.
