Participants in the South Carolina State Firefighters’ Association Retirement Plan and Trust and Length of Service Awards Program (LOSAP) received an email last week detailing important information about the retirement Plan account.

It was announced in 2023 that the Retirement Board of Trustees voted to transition the Plan’s Third-Party Administrator (TPA) services from Toledano and Associates, Inc. to Milliman.

The message Plan participants received last week provided information on the Milliman website including where to access forms, how to reach our One Percent Retirement Account Coordinator Kim Bowman, and step-by-step instructions on the new participant distribution election process.

If you participate in the Plan and have not received an email with this information, please check your junk/spam folders. The email is also available here ➡ https://mailchi.mp/64d343536b36/information-about-your-retirement-plan-account

Additionally, fire chiefs of departments participating in the Plan received a second email outlining how to maintain retirement account records with Milliman. If you are a fire chief of a department participating in the Plan, please check your junk/spam folders. If you have not received this information, please email [email protected].

Serving Those That Serve Others

Almost 100 years after the S.C. Firefighters’ Association was started in 1905, it sponsored the S.C. State Firefighters’ Association Foundation. The date was July 11, 2001. And the Foundation’s purpose was simple: support firefighters and their families, and better inform the public about the accomplishments and demands of the fire and life safety professionals who are career and volunteer firefighters in our state.

The Foundation is charged with helping firefighters and their families with educational opportunities, especially those that enhance the professional skills required for modern, scientific fire and life safety programs. It can fund the very productive Leadership Institute produced by the Association. Two very significant programs are produced by the Association. FAST, the Firefighter Assistance and Support Team is dedicated to emotional health and well-being of firefighters and their families. LAST, the Local Assistance State Team, provides assistance and comfort to the family and department after a line-of-duty death and helps file for Federal, state and local benefits. Both can be fully funded by a robust Foundation. Lastly, the Foundation can increase public awareness in the area of fire and life safety as well as enhance firefighter public image by having a spokesman available to travel the state to interact with the media and civic organizations.

Your S.C. State Firefighters’ Association Foundation has the potential to positively impact all firefighters. We need firefighters across the state to join in to build a strong Foundation for the future.
