Restore State Emp/Teacher Retiree Med Benefit

Introduced·4/21/26

Restores medical benefits for retirees in North Carolina's retirement systems.

The bill repeals provisions that eliminated medical benefits for retirees who began earning service on or after January 1, 2021, under the North Carolina Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System, the Consolidated Judicial Retirement System, the Legislative Retirement System, or the Optional Retirement Programs. It also appropriates $2,000,000 from the General Fund to the Department of State Treasurer for the 2026-2027 fiscal year to cover the increased costs to the North Carolina State Health Plan for Teachers and State Employees.
