It's about fairness. Reducing pension benefits was designed to take into account SS benefits. Now that SS benefits are further away, that reduction simply takes money away from the economy. The NHRS's benefits have a positive impact on the state's economy. For example, in 2020, every dollar of pension paid to a New Hampshire resident generated $1.70 in local economic output. Let's pass this to be fair to retirees and to our economy.
