S.139

Restore State Emp/Teacher Retiree Med Benefit

Introduced·2/24/25

Restores medical benefits for retirees under North Carolina's retirement systems for those earning service after January 1, 2021.

The bill repeals provisions that eliminated medical benefits for retirees under the North Carolina Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System, the Consolidated Judicial Retirement System, the Legislative Retirement System, and the Optional Retirement Programs. It retroactively restores these benefits for members first earning service on or after January 1, 2021. The bill also appropriates funds to cover the increased costs to the North Carolina State Health Plan for Teachers and State Employees resulting from this change.
