The NH Legislature has increased the cost of medical coverage for state retirees and their spouses who are not eligible for Medicare ("under-65 retirees"). The NHRS has been directed to deduct 12.5% of the monthly premium rate from the pension benefits of affected retirees. • For one-person coverage, the new deduction will be $113.80 per month • For retiree and spouse, the new deduction will be $227.98 per month. This change affects only retired state employees who are not eligible for Medicare. It does not affect county and municipal retirees, or state retirees who are covered by Medicare. PLEASE TELL US YOUR STORY about how you served the public, and how your family budget will be affected by this increased deduction from your pension.
