While some will receive letters from the tax authorities from this Monday, November 4 asking them to go to the cash register, others will be paid money. This is the case for former private sector employees who receive a supplementary pension from Agirc-Arrco.

Normally, the transfer of this pension is made every 1st of the month. But All Saints’ Day passed by. Due to the public holiday, payment will be made this Monday, November 4, 2024.

A wait that was well worth it since, starting this month of November, supplementary pensions are increasing.

A payment that is late?

“There is no delay,” recalled Agirc-Arrco, contacted by actu.fr for a previous article. This is indirectly because of Friday November 1, 2024, a public holiday in France.

“Retirement pensions are paid in working days. And as the first working day in November is Monday, this is where pensions will be paid,” Agirc-Arrco explained to us at the time. “It’s always like this, it’s usual. There is no need to worry, it’s normal,” insists the organization.

This was already the case in January, April, May, June (the 3rd), and September. And moreover, for the same reason, the December 2024 pension will only be paid on the 2nd of the month.

An increase of 1.6% from November

But it was well worth the wait. On October 15, the pension fund confirmed an increase in supplementary pensions for employees in the private sector. An increase of +1.6%.

In a press release, Agirc-Arrco justifies this revaluation by the need to ensure “guaranteeing the balance of the system over time and fairness between generations to ensure the payment of pensions for today and tomorrow” .

This revaluation concerns more than 13 million of French people affiliated to Agirc-Arrco.
