Because of incorrect data concerning their retirement date, people will have to repay sums of up to 100,000 euros to France Travail.
Retirees will have to repay astronomical sums. Indeed, the France Travail mediator, Jean-Louis Walter, highlighted, in his annual report, a rare dysfunction, which left certain beneficiaries heavily in debt, reports BFM Business Tuesday May 7.
The transmission to Pôle Emploi (former name of France Travail) of false data, coming from the Retirement Insurance and Occupational Health Fund (Carsat), is the cause. “The amounts claimed commonly reach tens of thousands of euros”, according to the report. This data notably included a forecast date for full retirement. The dates allowed Pôle Emploi to calculate the date on which the retirement pension would replace unemployment insurance for job seekers.
The Pôle Emploi agencies only required a simple career record at a given time, information could then be missing, and the retirement date could therefore be incorrect. The big consequence of this is that job seekers have been compensated for their unemployment for too long. France Travail only noticed it too late.
Retirees have not received their pension
The organization is therefore demanding reimbursement of these surpluses paid, estimated between 5,000 and 100,000 euros per person, according to Jean-Louis Walter. But the beneficiaries have not yet received their retirement pensions and since these are not retroactive, the people concerned do not have the means to compensate for the amount they are asked to repay.
The France Travail mediator nevertheless recalled that decisions remain subject to the regional authorities which grant allowances and pensions. An alert note was therefore sent, in August 2023, to request rapid treatment of the problem.
