Your responders selflessly face many risks while they serve and protect your community—and they deserve the best insurance protection available. A serious illness could happen at any time, impacting them physically, emotionally and financially. Critical Illness Insurance can help by offering a lump sum payment for covered illnesses and give your paid and unpaid personnel financial benefits to help them through these tough times.

SFFMA and VFIS of Texas have secured a Group Cancer / Critical Illness Insurance Plan that provides 24 hour (on the job and off the job) coverage.

This Cancer / Critical Illness Insurance is available to employers (paid & volunteers) and individual members.

Grant Assistance is Available for This Coverage!

The Rural Volunteer Fire Department Insurance Program (HB 3667) is a grant program designed to reimburse eligible volunteer fire departments for the purpose of insurance from private insurance companies. Eligible coverage includes any combination of compensation insurance for firefighters (workers' compensation, accidental death and dismemberment, group term life, accident and sickness, and/or cancer-related insurance) purchased from Texas insurance companies. The program will reimburse 100% of the actual cost of eligible insurance coverage up to a maximum of $190 per fire department member.

The HB 3667 Grant can help volunteer departments offset the costs of Workers' Compensation Insurance. Learn more & apply by CLICKING HERE.
