Fire State Aid Deadline

The next deadline for fire relief associations to be certified as eligible for receipt of their 2025 fire and supplemental state aid is November 1. If your relief association has not yet submitted its 2024 reporting-year forms to the OSA or has been notified by the OSA’s Pension Division staff that additional information is needed, please provide the forms or information as soon as possible.

To be certified as eligible for receipt of state aid in the next round of payments, a relief association must have submitted all required 2024 reporting information to the OSA with enough time for the OSA to complete its review and for all issues identified by the OSA to have been satisfactorily resolved by the relief association before November 1.

Check out our reporting compliance dashboard to see a relief association’s status in submitting required reports to the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) and if the relief association has met its requirements with the OSA to be qualified for its fire state aid distribution.

Contact the Pension Team for help with questions about reporting requirements or completing reporting forms.

Minnesota law requires forfeiture of fire state aid for relief associations that do not submit all required reporting information to the OSA on or before November 30 (this year December 1). A relief association that does not submit the reports by this statutory deadline automatically forfeits its 2025 fire state aid and does not qualify for future aid distributions until the missing forms are submitted. The OSA does not have authority to grant filing extensions beyond this statutory deadline.
