Fire relief associations (FRAs) that operate as local public pension plans are annually required to submit reporting information to the Office of the State Auditor (OSA). The reports are completed for the prior calendar year and are needed for a relief association to meet its requirements with the OSA to be eligible for receipt of current-year fire state aid. Fire state aid is an important funding source for relief association pension plans. Our office publishes an annual Financial and Investment Report of Fire Relief Associations summarizing the finances, basic benefit structures, and investment performances of Minnesota's fire relief associations. Visit the Fire Relief Association Reporting Compliance Dashboard to find a relief association’s status in meeting its requirements with the OSA to qualify for fire state aid, and to view the status of relief association report submissions and the OSA’s review of the submitted reports.
