STATE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES NOW HAVE A FEW MORE YEARS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A PENSION BUYOUT PROGRAM.
GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER SIGNED A NEW LAW EXTENDING THE CURRENT BUYOUT PLAN THROUGH JUNE 2026. SENATOR DORIS TURNER OF SPRINGFIELD SAYS THIS SAVES THE STATE MONEY AND GIVES WORKERS A LUMP SUM OPTION.
THE PENSION BUYOUT IS AVAILABLE TO STATE EMPLOYEES, UNIVERSITY WORKERS AND TEACHERS.
MORE THAN 45-HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE BUYOUT OFFER.
