Facts About The Illinois League of Financial Institutions Trust

The Illinois League of Financial Institutions Trust has sponsored a group insurance program for over 50 years as a service to members and their employees. A formal Trust Agreement was adopted in 1967 and has since been amended to meet all the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Trust is a separate legal entity and the policyholder for the various group insurance policies offered to all League members. The Trust enjoys a tax-exempt status under Section 501 (c)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code. Some important facts about the group insurance programs available through the Trust include:
