If you are currently receiving pension payments and are considering returning to work part-time, as a consultant, or in any other capacity, call IMRF first to make sure your work plans will not adversely affect your pension.

Currently, if you are employed in a position that is expected to meet the hourly standard as an IMRF-qualifying position (600 or 1,000 hours, as applicable), your pension payments must stop upon employment and you are required to re-enroll in IMRF.

With this new Board resolution, you can work in an IMRF-qualifying position up until you meet the hourly standard (600 or 1,000 hours, as applicable). Once you reach the hourly standard, you are required to either re-enroll in IMRF and stop receiving pension payments, or stop working in your IMRF-qualified position until you reach the 12-month anniversary of your employment date. On your employment anniversary date, your return to work period is reset for the next 12 months.
