With this payment, millions of French people will be able to put butter in their spinach…
In the coming weeks, French people will examine their bank accounts with a smile on their lips. And for good reason, there will be millions of them receiving a transfer that most of them did not expect. For some, this payment will allow them to slightly improve their financial situation, and why not put a little aside for the end of year holidays. This transfer is not aimed at everyone, but at 13.5 million people, who all have one thing in common: that of being retired and being a member of the Agirc-Arrco supplementary pension.
If this is your case, you certainly know that each year the amount of the Agirc-Arrco pension is revalued according to inflation. More precisely, like any retirement pension, it is indexed to the evolution of the consumer price index (excluding tobacco) established by INSEE (National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies). This revaluation aims to compensate for the increase in the cost of living so that retirees do not lose purchasing power.
The revaluation date varies depending on the pension plans, and in the case of the Agirc-Arrco pension, “the social partners set the value of the point with effect from November 1”, can we read on the pension plan website. It is therefore at the beginning of November that private sector retirees will receive this supplement: Monday November 4 to be exact, indicates the pension fund, because November 1 is a public holiday.
In total, 13.5 million retirees are affected by this good news. As for the amount of the revaluation, last year, the social partners and administrators of the Agirc-Arrco scheme managed to obtain a significant increase of 4.9%, which was close to the rate of inflation at the time. . This year, the annual revaluation of Agirc-Arrco pensions will be less significant, it should be below 2% taking into account the estimates made on inflation in 2024. As a reminder, she increased slightly by 2.3% over one year in July 2024. In any case, the people concerned will see the difference on their pension slip from November.
