Illinois HB3659 amends the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) Article of the Illinois Pension Code. It modifies the ordinary disability benefit provisions, including extending the period before which benefits cannot be claimed from 30 to 60 days. It also specifies that benefits are not payable for disabilities beginning during periods of absence from duty, except for allowable vacation time. The benefit is 50% of the employee's salary at the date of disability and terminates when the employee returns to work, the disability ceases, or other conditions are met.
