Without members and taxpayers subsidizing its revenue, the Nunda Rural Fire Protection District Firefighters Pension Fund would have lost $26,975 in 2018, according to a McHenry Times analysis of the latest data reported to the Illinois Department of Insurance Pension Division.

The fund has $2,506 in total assets. If the fund’s annual losses stay the same, it would run out of money in one year without these subsidies.

The fund earned $34 in investment income and other revenue in 2018. At the same time, it paid out $27,009 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 $25,889 to the fund’s revenue last year – an amount that has increased from $24,894 five years ago. Members made no contributions this year.

In all, subsidies amounted to $25,889 in 2018.
