When members retire and receive a Service, Early Service or Vested Deferred Retirement pension from NHRS, any compensation they earn from employment in a position that is not an NHRS-covered position will not affect their pension. If retirees return to work in an NHRS-covered position, they will be restored to NHRS active service.

Disability Retirement benefits may be subject to gainful occupation offsets regardless of where the retirees work.

It is important that retirees contact NHRS to become fully aware of any possible impact on their pension before accepting any employment with an NHRS participating employer or to learn more about gainful occupation offsets to Disability Retirement benefits.
