Valuable Papers
The Florida Firefighter Cancer Benefit Program designed by the FMIT satisfies the lump-sum benefit requirements of state legislation, SB 426, that goes into effect on July 1, 2019. The program, developed in partnership with the Hartford, is affordably priced. It’s designed to make it easier for FMIT members to be in compliance with the new law and provide eligible Florida firefighters this important coverage.
