Welcome to the Policemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago

Mandatory Signature Verification for Annuitants

The Fund sent a mandatory signature verification form to all annuitants in early March. All responses received have been recorded into the Fund’s system and signature verification continues. For those who have not yet responded, a second and final verification form was recently sent. Please respond ASAP to avoid any disruption in payment.

As staff reviewed the many signature verification forms received, many changes were noted, including address modifications, new phone numbers and power of attorney requests. Please make sure that you keep the Fund’s staff updated on these important changes, so that all communication sent to each annuitant is received.

2016 BENEFIT PAY DATES

Retirees, who have direct deposit set up for their monthly annuity, remember the direct deposit is entered to your bank on the LAST BUSINESS DAY of each month. This excludes weekends and holidays. For the remainder of 2016 the direct deposit dates are:

January 29, February 29, March 31 April 29, May 31, June 30, July 29, August 31, September 30, October 31, November 30, December 30.

For retired members who have checks mailed directly, please be advised, mail date is four business days prior to payable date. The Fund has no control over the U.S. Postage Service and will not guarantee prompt delivery of any check(s). Reissuance of a “lost” or “destroyed” check cannot occur until the 5th business day of the following month. Which, when re-issued, is mailed again through USPS. We highly recommend direct deposit to avoid any delays in receiving your monthly benefit.
