How do I sign fire relief association reporting forms in SAFES?

SAFES is the State Auditor’s Form Entry System, which is the secure web application used to access, submit, and electronically sign reporting forms. The Office of the State Auditor has provided a training video on SAFES: A Complete Guide for Fire Relief Associations.

To sign reporting forms in SAFES, first login. Once logged in, you will first be prompted to update and verify your contact information. After verifying your contact information, click on the “Forms” tab at the top of the page. Make sure the correct reporting year is selected. For example, if you are signing the FIRE-24 Form, click on the 2024 year. After the correct year is selected, make sure the “Pension Plan” tab is also selected. A green “Sign” button will appear next to your name. Click on the green “Sign” button to electronically sign a form. A unique confirmation ID number will be displayed along with the date, confirming your signature was accepted.

Check the status column to review if any additional signatures on the reporting forms are needed.

If you have any questions regarding signing forms in SAFES, please contact the Pension Division.
