The mission of the NHRSC is to focus solely on protecting the structure and solvency of the New Hampshire Retirement System (NHRS) and the public pensions that support thousands of retirees, small businesses, and middle-class families. It does this by defending access to retirement security for all public employees, educating employees, employers, and the public on the benefits of a Defined Benefit plan. The provided benefits and the solvency of the New Hampshire Retirement System must be protected through adequate contributions, sound investment strategies, and responsible legislation.
