Key Takeaways

•If a cop, firefighter, or certain other workers get hurt on the job and can't work anymore, they get money to help them retire.
•The money they get comes from two places: what they saved up themselves and what their boss put in for them.
•This rule is for people who got hurt at work, not for other reasons.

Example

A firefighter gets badly hurt while putting out a fire and can't work anymore.

Because they got hurt at work, they will get money every month to live on. This money comes from what they saved up over the years and what the fire department put in for them.
