As for the history, we already know thatThere will be no increase before the hour Supplementary pension this year.

Our Parisian colleagues explained that “the social partners running Agirc-Arrco, the supplementary pension for private sector employees, will adhere to the planned schedule, which provides for an increase on November 1”.

In addition, discussions are already underway to determine the percentage of revaluation. For retirees at Agirc-Arrco, employers and unions are already meeting Since September 13.

The challenges of this upgrade

From a financial point of view, there is of course the advantage of earning more for it Increase the purchasing power of retirees. On the other hand, there are many. Indeed, this reassessment also plays a role in the political plan of the state.

4% reassessment For basic pensions widens the imbalance between the schemes. This reassessment benefits civil servants much more than retirees in the private sector. The reason is that for all the pensions that civil servants receive every month, 90% They are basic pensions.

However, for former private sector employees, this represents only 70% or even 50% for executive staff. In this regard, Valerie Batini, founder and president of Sapiendo, a retirement company, refers to this favoritism.

The latter was mentioned by our colleagues from Figaro:

“Revaluation due to inflation reminds us again of the differences in treatment between schemes and laws. It widens the gaps between regimes that have a commitment to fiscal balance and others.”

“The average annual salary of the citizens of the scheme estimated for the current year minus the calculated sustainability factor so that the service value of the point evolves, in practice, at least as much as consumer prices excluding tobacco, so long as the evolution of prices is not greater than wages.”

However, again, a 5% revaluation of Supplementary pension It is only a hypothesis, the official figures should be known on October 6, according to Julian Bigard.

Envelope of 4 billion euros for supplementary pension

If we take into account This increase is 5%Social partner Agirc-Arrco must deduct from its reserves the amount of 4 billion euros. Note that the company’s current reserves are estimated at 65 billion euros.

For example, a pensioner who receives 2,000 euros in the retirement pension, including 800 euros in the basic pension and 1,200 euros in the supplementary pension, will get 60€ more per month Only with complement.

If we add the reassessment of basic pensions, it gives A total of 92 euros According to journalist Julian Bigard:

We must add the increase in the platform that all pensioners have benefited from since September: for him, it is 32 euros per month. So if we add the two revaluations, his pension will increase by 92 euros. »

We always welcome their needs in these times of crisis. As for the details, one thing is for sure, We will be fixed in November.
