Auditor General DeFoor Releases Audits of Municipal Pension Plans in 21 Counties
HARRISBURG – Auditor General Timothy L. DeFoor today announced the release of audits of 46 municipal and police pension plans in Allegheny, Berks, Chester, Crawford, Cumberland, Dauphin, Elk, Forest, Franklin, Huntington, Indiana, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming, Montgomery, Schuylkill, Warren, Washington and Westmoreland counties.
“Our audits make sure your local taxes are used correctly to fund pension plans for municipal workers like police and firefighters, “Auditor General DeFoor said. “We make sure municipal and police pension plans follow the law, contracts, administrative procedures, local ordinances and policies.”
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 2022, the Department of the Auditor General distributed a total of $329 million in aid to 1,453 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.
