More ARE for unemployed seniors in 2025? France Travail wants to tighten compensation rules. The point on the question.
France Travail abolishes the ARE for unemployed seniors in 2025
It is Marianne who sounded the alarm on the galley of unemployed seniors approaching the legal retirement age.
These job seekers could “to be deprived » of their return to work allowance, paid by France Travail, « if they do not provide him with a career regularization certificate (ARC).”
The public body could thus ensure “that (them) are missing many quarters of retirement contributions to liquidate their pension at full rate”.
Indeed, if ever these senior job seekers “have validated sufficient quartersthey are legally no longer entitled to a unemployment benefit« . They will then automatically see their ARE end.
An obstacle course for senior job seekers approaching the legal retirement age.
Small problem for those mainly concerned: pension funds usually take several months “to issue these documents”.
“Even more embarrassing”underlines Marianne, if an error led to the payment of undue allowancesTHE unemployed may be forced to repay the “ overpayments ».
However, these amounts can go up to “tens of thousands of euros”. Not to mention the fact that pension payments are not retroactive.”
In July 2024, reports the France Travail mediator, Jean-Louis Walter, 3% of seniors having been the subject of a new check of their retirement file found themselves in this situation.
Seniors who are approaching the legal age of departure, without the necessary number of terms, must absolutely “ urgently provide the career regularization certificate » at the former Pôle Emploi.
Those who forget to specify the urgency of their situation when making their online request on the “ Retirement insurance » will be able to “to find oneself without resources”.
But even having carefully anticipated their situation, these unemployed seniors are not out of the woods due to complex administrative formalities.
In Midi-Pyrénées, Marianne specifies, 1 in 5 files is often “ blocked for several months » before being processed. And for good reason, Carsat should still contact foreign administrations to restore your retirement rights.
These exchanges can last up to 7 months with the Maghreb countries. Depending on your case, there is sometimes a need to“exchange with the army to reconstitute the quarters acquired during military service”.
The same goes for learning periods. What ” leaving fragile citizens without resources.”
This new agreement which concerns those over 55
« We lack the human resources to overcome these difficulties », deplores an agent. “ Queues are getting longer “, he continues.
A new partnership agreement between France Travail, the CNAV and theUnedic will come into force from 2025 for “ make the user journey more readable.
All those over 55 must be careful at the risk of becoming “ find yourself without unemployment benefit, and without a pension…”.
