Don’t Miss Out On Important Retirement and Disability Benefits for Injured and Ill Workers
Part 1: Important Retirement and Disability Benefits for Injured and Ill Workers
NHRS benefits have been changed and amended over the years. Therefore, benefits and eligibility will vary (In some cases significantly) depending upon an employee’s hire date, service date, and date of vesting.
NHRS provides helpful information that guides employees through these changes so that they can better plan and estimate their available benefits. However, you need to know where to look.
Below are links to the summaries of available benefits for Group I employees (Employee and Teacher) and for Group II employees (Police and Fire) based upon service date, vesting date, and hire date. The best time to review this information is before you need it. These benefits are critical not just at the time of retirement, but in case of disability. Therefore it’s a good idea to review this information to determine which category you fit into based upon your hire, service, and vesting dates.
