Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Centralia Police Pension Fund would have lost $2,065,165 in 2018, according to a South Central Reporter analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $9,765,640 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in five years without these subsidies.

The fund lost $667,420 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $1,397,745 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 $734,032 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $633,469 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $146,370 – $20,825 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $880,402 in 2018.
