PA Department of the Auditor General

The Department of the Auditor General is charged with administering the state’s General Municipal Pension System State Aid Program that helps local governments defray the cost of employee, police and firefighter pension plans maintained by municipalities, regional police forces, and councils of government.

Funds are allocated through the department and local municipalities to nearly 2,000 volunteer firefighter relief associations to enable the purchase of training, equipment and insurance, and pay for death benefits for volunteer firefighters. Revenue for the state aid comes from a two percent tax on premiums paid for casualty and fire insurance sold in Pennsylvania by out-of-state insurance companies.

Volunteer Firefighter Relief Association (VFRA) and Municipal Pension allocations from prior years (other than 2024) are available below. Select a year from the list below to access the allocation information by county.
