Who We Are

The IAFF Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan (MERP) provides participating fire fighter union Locals around the country a benefit plan that helps retired fire fighters cover their health insurance premiums and medical expenses in retirement. This tax-sheltered investment plan was developed by fire fighters to meet their long-term healthcare needs. The links on this page will lead you to information about the plan, how it’s managed, and commonly used Plan documents and forms.
