Resignations of disabled IMRF members  


Before resigning from IMRF employment, your members must understand how it could affect their disability benefits.

You should advise any member receiving disability benefits to call IMRF before resigning from IMRF employment.

Calling us first is important because the disability rules are complex. Making an uninformed decision could hurt a member in the long run.

In general:
  • If a disabled member resigns voluntarily, disability benefits stop.
  • If an employer terminates the employment of a disabled member, disability benefits continue.
There are certain instances where these general rules do not apply, which is why disabled members must call IMRF whenever considering resignation.

You can read more-including explanations of special situations for disabled members-in the full November 2013 Reminder.
