Presumptive Cancer Law Limitations
Many states have presumptive laws for fire fighters and other first responders. Although these are good steps to be taken for the security of those who protect us, there are several limitations to be aware of. Each state is different and may or may not have these laws. Be sure to be aware of your state's laws and how they may effect you. The following is a general overview of some of the limitations that are common.
* Only covers a limited number of cancer types. (usually 8 to 12 types)
* Most often only covers those who have been full time for at least 5 years . Volunteers and new firefighters are generally not covered.
*Upon retirement, coverage will not be available after usually 7 years.
*Prostate Cancer, generally 1 of the covered type is removed from coverage at the age of 55.
*Claims are denied at a very high rate and often never settled.
