Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Mahomet Police Pension Fund would have lost $41,139 in 2018, according to a Chambana Sun analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $1,582,593 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 39 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $844 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $41,983 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 $196,035 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has decreased from $221,839 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $46,803 – $12,157 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $242,838 in 2018.
