Ordinary disability: 3 disabled firefighters
City of Chicago · Calendar year 2026 · Our estimate
$101,243.12
Proxy: this group draws $132,889 a year in benefits, 0.03% of the $457,739,817 of benefit dollars (annual benefits in payment at 12/31/2025 plus 2025 refunds of contributions). Average benefit $44,296 a year per person. Exhibit E (p.43). The City's payment is not the same as the benefits paid. The City sends one payment set by law to the fund, and the fund pays its retirees from that money plus member contributions and investment earnings. This split shares the payment out by each group's share of yearly benefit dollars, so it is our estimate, not a City figure.
