What benefits does a TERI participant receive from the TERI Program?
A participant in the TERI Program retains the same status and employment rights he held upon entering the program, with the exception of grievance and reduction in force rights for employees who become TERI participants after June 6, 2005. The TERI employee will earn annual leave and sick leave at the rate consistent with his years of State service and be eligible for active State employee health insurance benefits and active employee group life insurance benefits; however, he is not eligible for disability retirement benefits.
