Benefits Portal from Northern Trust

Northern Trust’s Benefit Payment Participant Web Passport® provides FABF annuitants with 24/7 access to their payroll information. Through this optional portal, members may self‑enroll, view current account details, access 2026 tax statements (available January 2027), check payment status (paid vs. outstanding), and review recent payment history. Members electing to use the optional portal must enroll through the Northern Trust Payroll Services website at www.northerntrust.com/bppweb

All portal‑related inquiries, including enrollment and password resets, should be directed to Northern Trust, which manages the system. 

Tax, address, and direct deposit updates must continue to be submitted in writing to the FABF staff by mail, email info@fabf.org, or fax (312) 726‑2316. For general questions, please contact the FABF Office at (312) 726‑5823.
