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.
But there are no federal retirement benefits.Since some people need to be told by notes in crayon .......Don't PM me with without prior permission. If you can't discuss the situation in the open forum ----it must not be that important

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 Reagan

Heck and some of us won't even get that. We don't pay into SS with my city."Rollin and Patrollin the Wild Wild West of Bham"

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.

As a sworn police officer or firefighter we get 33% of our computed benefit added, until eligible for social security.

I think if you read the first page it might give you the information that will allow you to find the info you are asking for.Last edited by Iowa #1603; 09-04-2009, 04:11 PM.Since some people need to be told by notes in crayon .......Don't PM me with without prior permission.
