The IPPFA Retirement Guide is written for anyone who serves or have served in Illinois as police officers and firefighters under the “downstate” Article 3 and Article 4 pension systems. The book provides both an overview and substantial detail on their well-earned benefits, including:
• Article 3 Police Pensions
• Article 4 Fire Pensions
• Social Security, for personnel both covered and not-covered at police/fire
• Public Employee Deferred Compensation
• Retirement Healthcare Funding Plans
Understanding these income sources is key for your members to plan and execute a successful retirement.
The book is available on Amazon.com for $9.99 but is offered for bulk sale at $7.50 to IPPFA Member Pension Funds (and their municipalities, fire districts, unions, and foreign fire insurance boards). This is a great price for any pension fund or related entity that wants to keep their membership informed on their retirement benefits. A minimum order of 10 books is required for bulk sale. Non-member organizations may purchase the book in bulk for $9.00 per copy.
