These statistics reflect cases referred to this Office by other agencies for collection. These cases involve a variety of receivables, including taxes, damage to State property, child support, unpaid educational loans, fines, and penalties. Collections for these receivables totaled $374,508,164.26. The attached statistics do not reflect a number of important collection activities of the Attorney General's Office that do not originate with cases referred by other agencies, however. For example, they do not include Illinois' 2013 share of the proceeds of the settlement of the litigation instituted by this Office against the tobacco industry, which totaled $273,596,620.16. Likewise, these statistics do not include the Illinois Estate Tax which is administered directly by the Attorney General. During 2013, the Office issued 1,252 certificates of tax determination and discharge reflecting estate tax revenues in the amount of $243,564,994.49. Additionally, due to the settlement with J.P. Morgan, the State will recover $100,911,813.41 in losses incurred by Illinois' pension systems as a result of the bank's misconduct. When the totals from these latter categories are added to the numbers described in paragraph one, the combined collections for the Office of the Attorney General in 2013 total $992,581,592.32. Sincerely, Lisa Madigan Enclosure
