Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Monmouth Police Pension Fund would have lost $439,385 in 2018, according to a Galesburg Reporter analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $8,098,845 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in 19 years without these subsidies.

The fund earned $365,650 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $805,035 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 $515,164 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $414,053 five years ago. Members contributed an additional $168,109 – $57,039 more than five years ago.

In all, subsidies amounted to $683,273 in 2018.
