Mississippi First Responders
 

The price of action is dollars. The price of inaction is lives.

Creating a First Responders Retirement Plan is our top priority.


Mississippi First Responders Proposed Retirement Plan

Stennis Institute First Responders Retirement Review

Call to Action:

CONTACT Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann (601) 359-3200 and your Senators (601) 359-3770 on Monday. 
Ask them to support the SB 2103 amendment that protects Mississippi First Responders from the harmful impacts of Tier 5.   


Under the current Tier 5 rules, new first responders would face longer careers, lower pension multipliers, delayed retirement, and no guaranteed COLA. The SB 2103 amendment restores critical protections for first responders including 25 years of service regardless of age, 50% of defined benefit at 25 years, a 2% DB multiplier for 25 years and a 2 1/2% DB multiplier for any years above 25, and a lump sum option.
