City of Chicago
Disability payments to active members: 181 members on disability
$5.6 million
Exact amount: $5,600,059.88
Calendar year 2026
Our estimateProxy: this group draws $8,185,003 a year in benefits, 0.68% of the $1,195,697,315 of benefit dollars (annual benefits in payment at 12/31/2025 plus 2025 refunds and disability payments). Average benefit $45,221 a year per person. 2025 disability payments, p.45. 93 ordinary and 88 duty disability members (p.17, p.33). 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.
