We are dedicated to supporting the brave men and women who serve as our first responders.

Group II Retirement Coalition is a dedicated group committed to supporting the brave men and women who serve as our first responders in New Hampshire.

We are a non-profit organization formed to legally combat the unfair and unconstitutional changes made to the retirement benefits here in NH of our firefighters, police officers, corrections officers, nurses, and probation/parole officers.

Help us restore fairness and stability for our first responders.

Our Mission

In 2011, the State of New Hampshire passed legislation that retroactively removed promised retirement benefits for active first responders, leaving them with a diminished sense of security and trust. This has led to a severe recruiting and retention crisis, putting our communities at risk as experienced public safety professionals leave for better opportunities elsewhere. We are fighting to restore these essential benefits and ensure our first responders receive the support and respect they deserve.

Put simply, when you start a job, you negotiate a contract with the State you are working for. Imagine 8 years after you start this job, someone else steps in and changes your initial contract, significantly reducing your retirement package. That’s exactly what happened in New Hampshire to every police officer, corrections officer, fireman, and nurse. It’s not a retirement issue; it’s an integrity issue.
