The IAFF-Financial Corporation is now working with Security Benefit Life Insurance Company to help Fire Fighters provide a supplemental income for their families in the future. There are many challenges to consider when preparing for retirement, such as, income stream, the retirement gap, cost-of-living and market performance. This is why the Responders First program was created- to help prepare Fire Fighters for their future and provide them with a solution to this potential income shortfall.
The Responders First Program offers a supplemental lifetime income option for Fire Fighters and their spouses, which will help them by providing a guaranteed income to last their lifetimes. The program is designed to help convert assets from a secondary place of employment, all or a portion of a spouse’s 401k plan or other defined contribution accounts.

Hello Again,
After a nearly three year haitus, I finally found my way back to you with a new, and hopefully improved method of delivery - a video blog called MDFR Retirement Recon. I intend to produce one video every couple of months to provide useful information to help you with your retirement planning.
The topic this month is Health Insurance Subsidies.
Feel free to suggest topics you would like to know more about. My contact information will be provided at the end of each video.
Here's the link - https://youtu.be/kcdOm1rzhM8

Brotherhood as defined by Merriam-Webster; feelings of friendship, support, and understanding between people: a group or organization of people who have the same interests, jobs, etc. In the fire service, we know it means so much more. Brotherhood means that we are there for one another. It means we have each other’s backs.
