The RHIP is an optional benefit available to employees that will be age 50 or older before the end of the upcoming re-enrollment year. Once you join the RHIP program continuous participation at each re-enrollment is required in order to be able to contribute in future years. Contributions are in multiples of $100 with a maximum annual contribution of $1000, unless you have “Unused Carry Forward RHIP”, in which case the maximum annual contribution may be up to $2000.

Unused carry forward RHIP is based on the amount that you could have contributed if you began the program at age 50 minus any RHIP contributions you have made to date.

For more information on the benefits and features of the RHIP please refer to the Retirement Health Insurance Program document found in the info tab above.
