A Notice for Hazardous Duty Members

Benefits for members who serve in hazardous duty positions were increased during the 2018 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature.

Members in certain plans who are injured in the line of duty by an intentional act of violence will now receive a benefit of 100 percent of their final average compensation, based on Act 595.

Also, members in positions that are classified as hazardous duty who are killed in the line of duty by an intentional act of violence will have their survivor’s benefit set at 100 percent of their final average compensation, due to the provisions of Act 224.
