Thin Blue Line Insurance Information from State President McDonald

Brothers and Sisters,

Last Thursday, the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio learned of a court filing containing serious allegations that Thin Blue Line Benefits diverted, moved, or outright spent funds that had been designated by the State of Ohio – and ordered by the court – to pay claims by Ohio participants.   That court filing is attached.  

These allegations are alarming, unacceptable, and demand immediate action.

Participants in the Thin Blue Line program are required to submit claims paperwork before an August deadline. From signing up and paying their premiums to dealing with the fallout of the initial fraud, these members have followed the rules. And they had every reason to expect that the money set aside for their claims would be available to pay what was owed.

Our most urgent priority is simple: recover every dollar possible and ensure that valid claims are paid to participants to the fullest extent possible.

We have already been in contact with the Governor’s Office, the Attorney General, the Ohio Department of Insurance, and federal regulators and law enforcement. We have received commitments that every available remedy will be pursued. I spoke directly with Attorney General Andy Wilson, who told me, “I will be a full partner in helping get this money back.”

I know that every FOP member, whether a Thin Blue Line beneficiary or not, will demand that the company be held responsible for consistent and blatantly bad behavior. And you should know that we will continue pressing this issue at every level until answers are provided, accountability is delivered, and every possible dollar is recovered for our members.
