New York State Volunteer Firefighter Cancer Benefit Program

Volunteer Firefighters Take on Risk – We Have Their Back

New York State Volunteer Firefighter Cancer Benefit Program logoIt’s a well-known fact that certain types of cancer are a health risk for firefighters. With that diagnosis come major costs.
 
Thanks to the signing of GML-205CC, volunteer firefighters throughout New York State are now entitled to an enhanced cancer disability benefit insurance program provided by their fire district, department or company. It's why the AFDSNY, FASNY and NYSAFC have partnered with The Hartford to bring you a way to help protect our 110,000 volunteer firefighters and their families: the New York State Volunteer Firefighter Cancer Benefit program.
 

Designed by Firefighters for Firefighters

Recovery should be the focus when a cancer diagnosis occurs. The Cancer Benefit program helps make that possible. Offering three forms of protection, our two distinct coverage plans are designed to help provide financial support for eligible volunteer firefighters diagnosed with cancer, and their families. You can review additional information by accessing the documents on this page.
