The New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled this week that the public has a right of access to the names of state pension benefit recipients as well as the amounts they receive. The court decided that the public interest in releasing the information outweighed any privacy interests of the individuals named within the records.
The court’s ruling affirms a lower court's order last year to the New Hampshire Retirement System to disclose the same records.
