The System’s total pension liability was $54.571 billion at June 30, 2024. The net pension liability at June 30, 2024, was $30,231 billion, which is the difference between the System’s fiduciary net position of $24.340 billion and the total pension liability. The System’s funded ratio was 44.6%. The criteria used for computing pension liability information in the financial report in accordance with GASB Statement No. 67 differs from the criteria used to compute the actuarial accrued liability and actuarial unfunded liability under the State’s funding plan; therefore, this information under the State’s funding plan is no longer reported in the financial statements. There were no findings reported under Government Auditing Standards in our audit. AUDITOR’S OPINION(S) The auditors stated the financial statements of the System as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024 are fairly stated in all material respects. This financial audit was conducted by RSM US LLP. JANE CLARK Division Director This report is transmitted in accordance with Section 3-14 of the Illinois State Auditing Act. FRANK J.
