Teppel v. Board of Trustees of Bolingbrook Police Pension Fund

Plaintiff sought administrative review of a decision of the Board of Trustees of the Bolingbrook Police Pension Fund which held that compensation for plaintiff’s police pension and retiree insurance contributions did not constitute pensionable benefits under the Illinois Pension Code. The circuit court reversed the board’s decision and the board appealed. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court, finding that the pension and retiree insurance pick-up payments that plaintiff received were pensionable salary under the Illinois Pension Code. (BRENNAN and PETERSON, concurring)
