NH Retirement System

NHRS LogoThe New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS), was established in 1967 as a contributory, defined benefit plan.  The plan provides lifetime pension benefits, as well as disability and death benefits.  It also provides a post-retirement Medical Subsidy benefit to eligible beneficiaries.

Benefit formulas and eligibility requirements are set by state law (RSA 100-A).  The retirement system is also governed by administrative rules, policies adopted by the NHRS Board of Trustees, and the Internal Revenue Code.

NHRS benefits are funded by member contributions, employer contributions, and net investment returns.  Investment returns have historically provided the bulk of funding for pension benefits.

NHRS members are full-time state, county, and municipal employees, teachers, police officers, and firefighters.  The membership consists of two groups: Group I (Employee & Teacher) and Group II (Police & Fire).
