Welcome to the IAFF Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan
You are now a participant in the IAFF Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan (“IAFF MERP”). This means your bargaining unit has joined IAFF MERP and contributions are now being made of your behalf. These contributions help build a valuable retirement benefit designed to provide reimbursement for eligible medical expenses during retirement for your lifetime*. For information about the plan and how benefits are calculated, visit MERP Overview, the FAQs page, or access the IAFF MERP Summary Plan Description.
*You must have a minimum of sixty (60) months of contributions to be eligible for a lifetime benefit. Information about “What Happens If I Separate From Service Before I Earn Five Years of Active Service?” can be found under the FAQs section.
Getting Started
We encourage you to register for the Member Portal as soon as possible as it contains important information about your IAFF MERP benefits. To get started, select the red “Member Portal” button located in the upper right corner of the website. Once redirected to the portal, select “Create an Account” and follow the prompts. We recommend using a personal email address, as your IAFF MERP account will remain with you through retirement.
After creating your account, please return periodically to review and update your information whenever changes occur. You may also submit changes or request assistance with registration by contacting the Trust Office at moc.stifenebapb@PREMFFAI or 1-844-353-7839.
Welcome again to IAFF MERP, and we encourage you to explore the website and learn more about the valuable benefits available through the Plan.
