State Public Pensions in New Hampshire: key facts

System
New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS), covering state and local public employees, teachers, police, and fire (Group I and Group II), governed by RSA 100-A.
Pre-retirement death
A beneficiary receives a refund of the member's accumulated contributions, and may be eligible for an ordinary or accidental death benefit depending on service and whether the death was job-related.
Survivorship pre-selection
An eligible member can pre-select a maximum Survivorship Option so a beneficiary receives a lifetime pension if the member dies before applying for retirement.
Retiree death
The continuing benefit depends on the retirement payment option the member elected (for example, a survivorship or period-certain option). Monthly pensions are paid to beneficiaries, not to estates or trusts.
