Auditor General DeFoor Releases Audits of 34 Municipal Pension Plans in 15 Counties
HARRISBURG – Auditor General Timothy L. DeFoor today announced the recent release of audit reports for 34 municipal pension plans in Adams, Allegheny, Beaver, Berks, Butler, Carbon, Crawford, Dauphin, Franklin, Jefferson, Lancaster, Luzerne, Monroe, Northumberland and Westmoreland counties.
“Our audits make sure state pension aid is used as required by law and that helps to reduce financial burdens on local taxpayers,” DeFoor said.
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 2021, the Department of the Auditor General distributed a total of $317 million in aid to 1,492 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.
