Subject: IAFF MERP Benefit Program: Important Information for GFFA Members

Dear Members,

I hope this message finds you well. We are writing to bring to your attention an important proposal regarding the upcoming IAFF MERP Benefit Program. As you were informed, this program aims to provide enhanced benefits for our union members, ensuring greater financial security and support for you and your families in retirement health care.

Attached to this email, you will find a PowerPoint presentation outlining the options of the IAFF MERP Benefit Program. This presentation provides an overview of the three options available for your consideration. It is essential that each member review these options and participate in the voting initiative. The PowerPoint attachment is also in the “Downloads” section of the union site. (www.l776.org)

Your participation is vital in shaping the future of our union and ensuring that the benefits provided meet the needs of our members effectively. As many have asked, the contribution amount will be reevaluated every MOU/Contract negotiation session. Voting will begin on 4/15/2024 at 0800 and will be open for 2 weeks.

Thank you for your participation on this topic, and we look forward to your active participation in this important decision for the benefit of all GFFA members.

Best regards,
