Does anyone know what the website is for our LEO Benefits? Not the one given by our state but I guess the federal benefit?

Federal benefit?
If a state, county or municipal LEO is entitled to Federal Retirement Benefits, I am not aware of it. Show me too! 
I have been lacking for the past 17 years. 
The only federal benefit I know of is Social Security at age 62 if you have accumulated an ample number of quarters - 40. Then they will reduce that by 66% unless you have been "Donating" to SS for thirty years.
Then, at age 65 you have to accept medicare - but, that is the horse of a different color.Last edited by SgtCHP; 09-02-2009, 09:54 AM.Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence!

You might be thinking of Federal DEATH benefits if a PO is killed in the line of duy.

No, there is a seperate benefit we get and it is federal funded and you loose it after you are eligible for Social Security and it's called LEO. I just want to locate the web site."Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. The MARINES don't have that problem." ....Ronald ReaganComment

In Virginia we have LEO, but it's not a federal benefit. As a sworn police officer or firefighter we get 33% of our computed benefit added, until eligible for social security.Comment

With LASD I never paid social security, Just my safety retirement. The only social security I ever paid was 3 years in the Army, so I will never get social security benefits.Retired LASDComment

Many large governmental organizations have private pension plans that meet certain requirements and the employees are exempt from Social Security taxes.Originally posted by boomhower1820 View Post
In Iowa any police department in a city over 10,000 can join the statewide retirement system that is exempt.
http://www.mfprsi.org/
The Iowa Department of Public Safety (State Police) also have a seperate plan that is exempt
The rest of us state employees contribute to IPERS----which is not SS exempt.............so I get both .
Another notable exception to Social Security taxes is the National Railroad Retirement Trust.. Railroad employees nationwide do not pay into Social Security.
