7 Sec. 4-110. Disability pension; line pension - Line of
8 duty. If a firefighter, as the result of sickness, accident or
9 injury incurred in or resulting from the performance of an act
10 of duty or from the cumulative effects of acts of duty, is
11 found, pursuant to Section 4-112, to be physically or mentally
12 permanently disabled for service in the fire department, so as
13 to render necessary his or her being placed on disability
14 pension, the firefighter shall be entitled to a disability
15 pension equal to the greater of (1) 65% of the monthly salary
16 attached to the rank held by him or her in the fire department
17 at the date he or she is removed from the municipality's fire
18 department payroll or (2) the retirement pension that the
19 firefighter would be eligible to receive if he or she retired
20 (but not including any automatic annual increase in that
21 retirement pension). A firefighter shall be considered "on

23 department, even though away from the municipality he or she
SB3403 Enrolled -2- LRB104 19237 RPS 32683 b
1 serves as a firefighter, if the assignment is related to the
2 fire protection service of the municipality.
3 Such firefighter shall also be entitled to a child's
4 disability benefit of $20 a month on account of each unmarried
5 child less than 18 years of age and dependent upon the
6 firefighter for support, either the issue of the firefighter
7 or legally adopted by him or her. The total amount of child's
8 disability benefit payable to the firefighter, when added to
9 his or her disability pension, shall not exceed 75% of the
10 amount of salary which the firefighter was receiving at the
11 date of retirement.
12 Benefits payable on account of a child under this Section
13 shall not be reduced or terminated by reason of the child's
14 attainment of age 18 if he or she is then dependent by reason
15 of a physical or mental disability but shall continue to be
16 paid as long as such dependency continues. Individuals over
17 the age of 18 and adjudged to be disabled persons pursuant to
18 Article XIa of the Probate Act of 1975, except for persons
19 receiving benefits under Article III of the Illinois Public
20 Aid Code, shall be eligible to receive benefits under this
21 Act.
22 If a firefighter dies while still disabled and receiving a
23 disability pension under this Section, the disability pension
24 shall continue to be paid to the firefighter's survivors in
25 the sequence provided in Section 4-114.
26 The disability pension under this Section that continues

3 from the initial adjustment if all of the following conditions
4 are met:
5 (1) the firefighter died in 2023;
6 (2) the firefighter died less than 6 months before his
7 or her 60th birthday; and
8 (3) by no later than one year after the effective date
9 of this amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly, the

11 an ordinance or resolution granting the increase.
12 A pension previously granted under Section 4-114 to a
13 survivor of a firefighter who died while receiving a
14 disability pension under this Section shall be deemed to be a
15 continuation of the pension provided under this Section and
16 shall be deemed to be in the nature of worker's compensation
17 payments. The changes to this Section made by this amendatory
18 Act of 1995 are intended to be retroactive and are not limited
19 to persons in service on or after its effective date.
