What's New at PROFAM
Join the Conversation: Mississippi Firefighters and PERS Tier 5 Today at 1:00 PM, the Mississippi House of Representatives PERS Select Committee will hold a live webcast to discuss the future of our retirement system. This is your chance to listen in, get informed, and make your voice heard. Read More...
The leadership of the Professional Firefighters Association has studied the PERS Tier 5 very closely and looked at the impact it will have on future law enforcement from a financial, mental, and physical wellness perspective.
After listening to our legislators and watching how this legislation was manipulated into the tax reform package, it has become very clear that TIER 5 will not be good for the firefighting profession or any public employee.
Therefore, we are OPPOSING the passage into law of the TIER 5 language. PROFAM is asking the legislators and the GOVERNOR to reconsider their positions on this language because, if passed and put into law, it will be the same as signing a "DEATH WARRANT" for many future first responders trying to work for 35 years just to receive a benefit they will not be able to survive on in retirement.This legislation also affects retirees now and in the future on Tiers 3 & 4! Present and currently retired employees are being put at risk because of the decision made to not include a funding mechanism that would keep PERS on solid financial ground.
The Professional Firefighters of Mississippi OPPOSE this part of House Bill 1 (HB1) simply because it does not take into consideration future employees.
To our legislators and leadership, we simply say to you, "You can do better than this!"Paused
