The FABF Member Portal is now available and provides members with a secure, convenient way to access Fund resources and communicate with Fund staff. Through the Member Portal, members can: 1) Download Member and Annuitant forms and complete them electronically, 2) Upload completed Member and Annuitant forms directly to Fund staff, 3) Send secure messages and transmit documents through an encrypted portal, 4) Access Northern Trust payroll information through the Benefit Payment Participant Web Passport®, 5) Use the updated FABF Retirement Estimator for both Tier I and Tier II benefit calculations. Click here to access the Member Portal.

To register for access to the Member Portal, you will need your FABF-assigned file number and one additional item for identity verification. Once access has been established, members generally will no longer be required to provide physical identification documents, such as a driver's license or passport, have forms notarized, or send materials via registered or priority mail. The Fund expects this secure online option to save members time and money while providing enhanced protection for personal information submitted to the Fund.
