Illinois HB1820 modifies the Illinois Pension Code to adjust how disability and survivor's benefits are calculated for police and firefighters. Specifically, it ensures that if a person is entitled to a survivor's benefit due to a work-related sickness, accident, or injury, there will be no reduction in the benefits payable under the pension code. The bill also specifies that certain payments, such as those for medical services, scheduled losses, and attorneys' fees, will not be reduced. Additionally, it mandates that the implementation of these changes does not require state reimbursement.
