Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Caseyville Police Pension Fund would have lost $272,113 in 2018, according to a Metro East Sun analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $2,408,806 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in nine years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $21,715 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $293,828 in expenses, according to the 2019 biennial report detailing the health of each of the state’s pension funds and retirement systems. The difference between the two shows the fund’s annual loss without subsidies.

Taxpayers added $228,218 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $137,575 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $66,698 – $11,071 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $294,916 in 2018.
