second wave of small pension increases

The second wave of small pension increases provided for under the 2023 pension reform is due to be paid before the end of October 2024.

The 2023 pension reform provided for an increase in the minimum pension to 85% of the Smic net. Implementation of this reform led to a first wave of payments in September 2023.
However, some recipients had not yet received this payment, and are therefore concerned by it, which includes a catch-up of sums due since one year, when the reform came into force.

To qualify, you must meet the following conditions:
- have a full-rate pension;
- have 120 quarters or more of contributions under all schemes;

- receive a basic pension not exceeding €847.57 per month (including increases);
- the sum of all your pensions (basic and supplementary) must not exceed a certain ceiling: €1,352.23 per month (including increases).

If this applies to you, you don't need to do anything. You'll be informed by post from September 9, 2024.

In September, you will receive a catch-up payment for the 12 months of unpaid increases. The increase will then be applied to your pension each month, starting in October.
