Governor Pritzker signed into law SB 1235 that ensures members will receive full-service credit for work performed in any month a member makes their required SURS pension contribution on earnings earned in a month.

The legislation only applies to participants in SURS on or after September 1, 2024.

This legislation recognizes that all services rendered and earned earnings will be fully credited to the SURS participants.

This is great news for adjuncts, whose pensions will now not be reduced because they were not receiving full credit.  If you are considering retirement, you may want to wait until 9/1/2024 to take advantage of this change.

The CODAA 2023-24 Budget was unanimously approved at the Fall Membership Meeting on 8/18/24
