State Health Benefits Coverage at Retirement

If you fall into one of the categories listed below, you will be offered coverage under the New Jersey State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) into retirement:

·         Members who retire with 25 or more years of service credit in  the TPAF and school board employees enrolled in PERS or those on a disability retirement, even if your employer did not participate in the SHBP. This includes members who elected deferred retirement with 25 or more years of service credit. Eligibility is limited to full-time employees as defined by N.J.A.C. 17:9-4. If you fall into this category this coverage is provided at no cost to you.

·      Members eligible for Medicare who retired from a board of education, vocational/technical school or special services commission not participating in SHBP and do not meet the above criteria, provided you are participating in the health benefits plan of your employer and are enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B. You are required to pay the full cost of the coverage.
