Early retirement for disability in the civil service

Verified 01 September 2023 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)

If you are a public servant and you worked with a disability, you can retire at age 55 if you have a certain number of quarters of pension insurance.

We present these conditions for early retirement.

Please note

If you are contractual, you can receive early retirement for disability from the Social Security Pension Insurance under the same conditions as a private-sector employee.

You can retire before the minimum starting age normal (set between 62 and 64 years of age depending on your year of birth) and from 55 years if you meet the following conditions

  • Have a minimum number of quarters of pension insurance contributors (all pension schemes)
  • Either have pursued your professional activity during that period, by being suffering from a permanent incapacity at least equal to 50% (or, for periods prior to 31 December 2015, to have pursued your professional activity as a disabled worker - RQTH), either have pursued your professional activity during that period, while being in disability comparable to the rate of permanent disability of 50%

The following are the insurance term requirements:

Don't stop working until you have confirmed your situation with your other basic and supplementary pension plans.

Your pension is calculated on full rate (without discount) regardless of your number of pension insurance quarters.

If you do not have the number of quarters of pension insurance required to qualify for a full rate pension, your retirement pension paid by the SRE or NACL is increased.

The amount of the increase depends on the length of time you were disabled and your total insurance period validated with the Civil and Military Retirement Pensions Fund (CMPRF) or the NRACL.

It is calculated according to the following formula:

(Duration of pension insurance contributed to CMIRP or NACHR with disability / Total duration of pension insurance validated with CMIRP or NACHR - with or without disability) x

The increase in pension cannot allow you to receive a higher pension than the amount you would have received if you had the insurance period needed to receive a full-rate pension.

If the amount of your increased pension is less than guaranteed minimum retiring, called minimum contributionYes, that's the minimum amount that's paid to you.
