Background The Eveleth Salaried Firefighters Relief Association and the Eveleth Police Relief Association were created in 1935, to provide pension coverage to Eveleth salaried firefighters and to Eveleth police officers, respectively. The coverage transfer for active members was prompted by active member dissatisfaction over the modest benefit coverage provided by the two local relief associations. At the time of the 1977 coverage transfer, the two relief associations provided very modest benefits compared to other local relief associations. At the present time, the Eveleth trust fund pays benefits to a small group of individuals, only two retired members and seven surviving spouses of deceased service pensioners. The youngest surviving spouse was 78 years old while the oldest was 91.
