In any local governmental unit receiving State funds, moneys expended for costs of administration, exclusive of any compensation paid to the Supervisor of General Assistance from funds other than public aid funds, shall not exceed amounts which have been submitted to and approved by the Illinois Department. If a local governmental unit is a participating municipality in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund created by Article 7 of the "Illinois Pension Code", its estimate of administrative expenses may include amounts required as contributions by the governmental unit in behalf of its employees engaged in the administration of public aid for retirement annuity purposes for current service rendered by such employees on and after July 1, 1953, provided the governmental unit has levied a tax at a rate not less than one-half the maximum rate authorized under Section 7-171 of the aforesaid Article. Contributions for retirement annuity purposes of employees of the County Department engaged in administration of General Assistance for such a municipality shall be met from funds appropriated for the State contribution to the State Employees Retirement System under Article 14 of the "Illinois Pension Code". The contributions of a governmental unit for retirement annuity purposes which are authorized to be included in estimates of administrative expenses shall include Social Security contributions for which the unit is obligated under the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund created by Article 7 of the Illinois Pension Code, or if the governmental unit is not a participating municipality in that Fund, the Social Security contributions for which it is obligated pursuant to an agreement executed under Article 21 of the Illinois Pension Code. In like manner, if the retirement fund established under Article 9 of the Illinois Pension Code becomes obligated for Social Security employer contributions, the estimated expenses of the County Department may include the Social Security contributions together with the regular contributions for which the county is obligated. A local governmental unit receiving State funds may include in its estimate of administrative expenses obligations assumed by it for insurance premiums or charges for group life or health insurance, or both, for employees of the local governmental unit, for any such employees who retire or who had retired on or after January 1, 1966, and for dependents receiving an annuity as survivors of such employees or retired employees if the governmental unit has so acted under Section 3 of "An Act defining the powers and duties of local governmental agencies to pay premiums and costs or portions thereof, and to withhold parts of employee and elected or appointed official compensation to provide insurance or retirement benefits for employees and appointed or elected officials", approved August 16, 1963, as amended, or has so acted in exercise of its powers as a home rule unit. The amount included for this purpose in the estimate of administrative expenses shall not exceed the comparable insurance premiums or charges per employee, retiree, or survivor currently paid by the State of Illinois for State employees under the "State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971".
