DO YOU HAVE DISABILITY BENEFITS?

facebook Share on Facebook

The actual question we get at the union office is, “Do I have disability insurance?”  Typically, we hear this question when a member has a need.   The answer hoped for is, “Yes, you do have it. Would you like a claim form?”  Unfortunately, many times the answer is no.

One of your more important benefits is Disability Insurance.  As firefighters and medical first responders you risk not only your lives, but your health and well being.  This puts your economic livelihood at risk when you incur an injury, illness, or even death.  For an inexpensive cost you can add a layer of protection and peace of mind for you and your family.

For approximately $312 per year or $12 per pay period through Fairfax County Professional Fire Fighters & Paramedics, Local 2068 you would be eligible for short term non-service and service related benefits, long term benefits, accidental death or dismemberment benefit, and 24-hour travel assistance services.  

It’s not too late to apply for this coverage!  For additional information on these supplemental benefits call the union office at (703) 591-9271 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
