The state Supreme Court has rejected a request to overturn its earlier decision allowing government retirees to pursue a lawsuit that could restore a discarded premium-free health care option. The decision affects 220,000 retirees.
Government retirees object to a proposed "writ of prohibition" from the N.C. Supreme Court that would stop them from pursuing a class-action lawsuit. The retirees want the state to restore premium-free health benefits they enjoyed before a change in state law in 2011.
N.C. government retirees suing for access to their former premium-free health benefits oppose the latest courtroom request from their legal opponents. They filed paperwork Friday with the N.C.
