SC21082 - Duso v. Groton, “The question we must
decide in the present appeal is whether the plaintiffs, retired police officers
of the town of Groton, are entitled under a 2008 pension agreement to receive
health savings account (HSA) contributions from the town, like the town now pays
to its active police officers under a successive collective bargaining
agreement, which incorporates the same 2008 pension agreement. The Appellate
Court concluded that the plaintiffs are, holding that the provision of the 2008
pension agreement entitling retirees to the ‘‘nature and scope of coverages,
including but not limited to deductibles . . . in effect for active [p]olice
[o]fficers’’ extended to the HSA contributions that are paid to active police
officers. See Duso v. Groton, 228 Conn. App. 390, 423–24, 325 A.3d 295 (2024).
We granted the town’s petition for certification to appeal and now reverse the
judgment of the Appellate Court.”
