SB 854 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE TEACHERS' RETIREMENT SYSTEM HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE AND THE STATE SUBSIDY.

SB 854 requires the state to pay one-third of the monthly premium cost for retired teachers' Medicare supplement health insurance. This bill directly affects retired teachers enrolled in Connecticut's Teachers' Retirement System by reducing their out-of-pocket health insurance costs. The key provision mandates the state subsidy be applied to the total monthly premium, making coverage more affordable. The bill aims to restore the state's previous contribution level for this benefit.
