City Continues Health Coverage Through State GIC

Haverhill’s 2027 budget proposal assumes continued participation in the Massachusetts Group Insurance Commission for employee health and related benefits, as alternative carriers are unlikely to bid due to the city’s loss ratio. The GIC must renew the city’s policy annually so long as the city remains in the program.
