Website - Members Login Page Available Soon

Beginning in late June, the FABF website will be enhanced to allow members to securely: 

  • Download Member and Annuitant forms and complete them electronically. 
  • Upload completed Member and Annuitant forms directly from their computer to FABF staff. 
  • Send secure messages and transmit documents through an encrypted member portal. 
  • Access Northern Trust payroll information via the Benefit Payment Participant Web Passport®. 
  • Use the updated FABF Retirement Estimator for Tier I and Tier II calculations. 

To ensure the security of member information, the Fund has partnered with ID.me, the identity authentication provider used by the Social Security Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. If you already have an ID.me account, your existing username and password can be used to access the FABF site. Members who do not have an ID.me credential may create one by following the instructions available on the website. ID.me simplifies how individuals prove and share their identity online and offers numerous opportunities for first responder discounts on items and web services that require authentication. 

To complete log on registration with the Fund, you will be required to provide your FABF assigned file number as well as one additional verification item. Once access to the Member Site has been granted, members will no longer be required to provide physical identification (such as a license or passport), to have forms notarized, or to send registered or priority mail. It is the Fund’s expectation that this new option will save members’ time, money, and improve the security over their personal information provided.
