COVID Death Benefits Available Through Georgia Indemnification Fund
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025
Earlier this year, legislation was passed allowing COVID-19 death claims involving public safety officers to be submitted to the Georgia Public Officers Indemnification Fund. Survivors can file claims for COVID-related deaths that occurred before April 15, 2022.
Benefits through the Georgia Public Officers Indemnification Fund are available to all eligible emergency responders in Georgia, regardless of whether their employers participate in GMA insurance programs. Eligible survivors may receive up to $150,000 in benefits.
The deadline to submit claims is August 1, 2025.
