Appellate Court of Illinois

Order of the court upholding the determination of the defendant that plaintiff was entitled to receive a widow's annuity upon her repayment of the refund awarded to her husband's estate is affirmed where: 1) the defendant properly construed the sections involved since payment of a refund and an annuity to a widow would be paying plaintiff's benefits twice; 2) it is the intent of the legislature that any repayment to the Fund be made with interest; and 3) defendant properly determined that plaintiff was not entitled to receive a widow's annuity at the time of her husband's death.
