Oklahoma EMT Line of Duty Death Benefit

The Oklahoma State legislature passed HB 2693 in the 2008 session, providing for an EMT Line of Duty Death Benefit. The text of the measure is available through the link on the upper right side of this page.

Each Oklahoma Licensed EMT should complete the "Designation of Recipient" form, available through the link at the upper right side of this page. The form should be held by the EMT in a safe place, or by the EMT's employer. It should be forwarded to the Department upon the death of the EMT in the line of duty, with a letter explaining the circumstances and requesting the benefit be activated.

We hope no Oklahoma EMT will ever need this benefit, but if required, the Department will ensure that each eligible designated recipient receives it in a timely manner. Please call the EMS Division with any questions.
