NJ Civil Service Commission Update

The February 2009 Fire Fighter announcement has been postponed until February 2010. The Fire Fighter lists that were issued in November 2007 will be extended for one year or until the next cycle of lists issue, whichever comes first. This will allow for greater use of existing lists which have been underutilized due to budget cutbacks in many municipalities.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR CHAPTER 330 RETIREES
We have just received information on the State Health Benefits Plan with respect to Chapter 330 Retirees.  There was no information disseminated from the firefighter’s representative of the state's newly created "State Health Benefits Plan Design Committee", but there are substantial changes made to the State Health Benefits Plan that will be costly to Chapter 330 Retirees.  An example is a retiree who in 2011 opted for the Aetna HMO for a family plan, paid $385.66 per month for health insurance.  The same plan will cost the retiree $631.92 in 2012.

Below is a link to a printable comparison document, a link to the State Health Benefits Website and a printable change form. We apologize for the late notice, but we just received notice of the hidden charges.
