Pay no monthly premium when you enroll in the retiree wellness program.

There are agreements between the State of New Jersey and bargaining organizations representing state employees. They require certain state Medicare retirees who attained 25 years of service after June 30, 2007, and before June 28, 2011, or who retired on a disability retirement on or after August 1, 2007, and before June 28, 2011, to pay a health contribution of 1.5% of the retirement benefit unless the retired member is enrolled in the retiree wellness program. Participation in the retiree wellness program, results in the waiver of the required health contribution.
