The State of Illinois Employees' Deferred Compensation Plan is a supplemental retirement plan open to all full-time state employees. The deferrals, together with any earnings, accumulate tax-deferred until the employee terminates service, dies or incurs unforeseeable financial hardship. The funds are never taxed by the State of Illinois.
The Department of Central Management Services (CMS) administers group health, vision, dental and life insurance benefits for four benefit programs.
The Risk Management Division is responsible for the administration of workers' compensation claims for work-related accidents of state employees. Additionally, it administers auto liability and insurance procurements for all property, casualty and liability expenses.
Annuity, survivor and disability benefits are available through the five State retirement systems for employees of State agencies, universities, community colleges, as well as for judges and general assembly officials and school district teachers.
