Re:
Proposed Legislation on VFBL Benefits
The Croton Fire Council has requested that the Village Board of Trustees support the passage of
proposed legislation (S.5432 / A.4610) that would raise weekly benefits for volunteer firefighters and
ambulance workers who sustain total or permanent disability in the line of duty.
Currently, these volunteer first responders receive $400 per week in benefits and this amount has not
increased since 1992. The legislation as proposed would raise this amount to $800 per week.
A sample letter to Governor Hochul that was provided by the fire council has been included in the
backup.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
