HARRISBURG – Auditor General Timothy L. DeFoor today announced the release of audits of 50 municipal and police pension plans in Armstrong, Berks, Carbon, Chester, Clinton, Columbia, Crawford, Cumberland, Dauphin, Erie, Fayette, Jefferson, Lancaster, Luzerne, Mercer, Monroe, Montgomery, Northumberland, Potter, Somerset, Snyder, Schuylkill, Warren, Westmoreland, Wyoming and York counties.
“Municipal pension plans are a critical way we make sure that our local police, fire and community workers receive the retirement benefits they were promised,” Auditor General DeFoor said. “We audit the plans to ensure they use the money they receive from the state according to the law. I encourage everyone to visit our website to see whether their local pension plan is funded properly and managing public dollars responsibly.”
State aid for municipal pension plans is generated by a 2 percent tax on fire and casualty insurance policies sold in Pennsylvania by out-of-state companies. In 2025, the Department of the Auditor General distributed nearly $442 million in aid to 1,482 municipalities and regional departments to support pension plans covering police officers, paid firefighters and non-uniformed employees.
The department is required by law to audit municipal pension plans and volunteer fire relief associations that receive state aid from the department; liquid fuels tax usage by municipalities; various county offices and numerous other state government entities.
The department has created a Be Audit Smart section on its website to help inform Pennsylvanians about how their tax dollars are being spent. The municipal pension plan audit reports are linked below or available online at www.PaAuditor.gov/audit-reports.
Where applicable, the audit reports note any necessary adjustments and include recommendations for stronger internal controls.
