Florida Firefighter Cancer Benefit Program

The Florida Firefighter Cancer Benefit Program, designed by the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust (FMIT), satisfies the lump-sum benefit requirements of the firefighter cancer benefit law (Florida Statute 112.1816) effective July 1, 2019.

FMIT’s Florida Firefighter Cancer Benefit Program helps local government employers of full-time firefighters in several key ways. First, employers can instantly comply with the significant lump-sum benefit requirement of the law and reduce its related financial burden. Through FMIT’s partnership with Chubb Accident & Health, employers are provided a more efficient group purchasing platform and seamless benefit administration. Chubb Accident & Health is a leading provider of innovative accident and health insurance programs and an experienced leader in providing best-in-class cancer plan administration.
