The State Universities Retirement System of Illinois (SURS) requests proposals from qualified firms to provide non-discretionary real estate consulting services. SURS is issuing the RFP for due diligence purposes, to ensure its receipt of quality services in a cost-effective manner.

SURS is currently not moving forward with the implementation of the optional hybrid plan created under PA 100-0023. Additional clarifying legislation is needed for SURS to be able to do so. SURS staff worked extensively last year with the General Assembly on a trailer bill that would have provided necessary clarifications; but that bill failed to pass. At this time, it appears unlikely that the General Assembly will pass legislation to implement the optional hybrid plan.

SURS will communicate any changes if they occur.

This webinar is designed to help early to mid-career members consider future goals and evaluate retirement readiness. It provides an overview of SURS benefits as well as other key components necessary for a secure retirement.

There are no seminars scheduled at this time. Please check back later for upcoming dates.
