The HELPS Retiree Act
The HELPS Retiree Act provides a modest tax benefit to retired public safety officers to pay for healthcare. The Act allows up to $3,000 of a retiree’s pension funds (including defined benefit plans) to be used annually on a pre-tax basis to pay for healthcare premiums and long-term care insurance. See the HELPS Act FAQ for more information.
