Englewood pension board approves FPPA survivor benefit for deceased firefighter’s widow
Summary
The Englewood Employee Pension Plan Board approved an FPPA‑governed survivor benefit for the widow of retired firefighter Paul Jamieson, voting to confirm the widow’s entitlement under plan rules (chair announced approval by general consent).
The Englewood Employee Pension Plan Board approved an FPPA survivor benefit for the widow of retired firefighter Paul Jamieson during the meeting.
Board members considered the FPPA recommendation that the widow receive survivor benefits and recorded a motion and second; the chair then asked for those in favor and said, "I all in favor, I have it," indicating the board approved the request. A staff member also confirmed the plan’s provision that a surviving spouse would receive half of what the deceased member was receiving under the FPPA rules as the basis for the benefit calculation.
Because FPPA administers the old‑hire fire and police plans, the board’s action was to accept and record the survivor authorization in accordance with FPPA certification and plan rules. The board’s approval was procedural and did not change plan law or policy for future claims.
The board also noted other retirement notifications during the meeting (drops and distributions) and agreed to follow FPPA procedures for administering death and survivor claims.
