Un little patience for retirees. The increase in retirement pensions, initially announced for August 9, will not finally be seen by those eligible until September 9, 2022, reports The echoes. The early revaluation of pensions up to 4% provided for in the purchasing power law has been postponed, said the Pension Insurance.
The reason ? “The timetable for the parliamentary review” of this law which was only voted on August 3. A late vote which did not allow the Retirement Insurance “to deploy this revaluation on the payment” of the July pensions paid in August. The National Assembly had also voted, Tuesday, July 26, against the government’s opinion, an additional revaluation of 500 million euros for retirement pensions, as part of the examination of the amended draft budget for 2022.

A retroactive payment
If this announcement may worry some, the payment is delayed by one month but with retroactive effect. The Cnav (National Old Age Insurance Fund) announced that “the amount corresponding to the revaluation on the retirement of the month of July will be paid retroactively with the payment of September 9”.

This gesture for the purchasing power only concerns the pension of right, the survivor’s pension, the solidarity allowance for the elderly (Aspa) and the supplementary disability allowance (ASI). It comes on top of the 1.1% increase that occurred in January 2022. The government has not ruled out a further increase in January 2023.
