For Immediate Release: October 3, 2025
The New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS) continues its work to program changes to retirement benefits for Group II, Tier B members following legislation signed into law in June 2025.
NHRS analyzed the statutory changes created by House Bill 282 as the first step in updating calculations in our pension administration software system. It will be a lengthy process to implement changes to the software system and ensure the changes produce accurate estimates. NHRS will complete the process as soon as possible.
NHRS staff have received member requests for new estimates, and we are asking for continued patience. We are not able to state when the programming changes will be complete but will provide key updates on our website as they become available.
