Many retirees will receive a good sum on top of their pension.

A relief after months of waiting. In a few days, many retirees will see a transfer appear in their bank account, on an unusual day. Before receiving the monthly pension, almost one million of them will receive a good amount, in addition to the income received each month. A financial windfall that will not be much for these French people with low purchasing power.

This comes after a long administrative work done by the National Old Age Insurance Fund (Cnav), to allow beneficiaries to receive this money. Renaud Villard, director general of Cnav told our colleagues “We have to redo the tasks and sometimes even by looking in the archives,” Paris.

These careful investigations allowed the organization to see about 850,000 people who receive 600 euros, on average, before the end of the month. This money is not a gift or any kind of boost from the State, but a real debt owed to the pensioners concerned. A debt which goes back several months and which the public authorities will, finally, comply with.

In 2023, an increase in minimum retirement pensions is implemented, which should benefit around 1.5 million retirees from September 1, 2023. However, the political promise is against the administrative reality and the public identity problem. Therefore, a little less than half of the people who should benefit from the breeding actually see it. After months of testing thousands of files, Cnav has finally identified all the people eligible for renewal.

The funds that will arrive therefore according to the retroactivity of the increases, 850.000 pensions that have not been revalued between September 2023 and September 2024. “The people concerned will receive on average 600 euros, i.e. catch over twelve months “, specified Renaud. Villard. The transfer should not be long since the director of Cnav indicated that the fund will be paid around Wednesday September 25.

The beneficiaries of this increase are generally people who have worked all their lives with a salary close to or equivalent to the minimum wage. In addition, it is necessary to have contributed at least 120 quarters in order to be eligible for this pension increase.
