Verified 01 January 2024 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)
You are civil servant or contractual and you want to know what a full-rate pension and if you can benefit ?
Here's the information you need to know.
One full-rate pension is a retirement granted without discount.
To understand what this is about, know that as a public official, when you retire, you are entitled to 2 retirement pensions.
If you are official, you are entitled to the following retirement pensions:
- A retirement pension from the SRE: titleContent if you are a public servant or a retirement pension from the CNRACL: titleContent if you are a territorial or hospital official (said basic pension)
- And a pension of the RAFP: titleContent (said supplementary pension)
If you are contractual, you are entitled to the following retirement pensions:
- A retirement pension from the Social Security Pension Insurance (so-called basic pension)
- And an EU pensionIrcantec: titleContent (said supplementary pension)
Whether you are a public servant or a contract worker, your basic SRE, CNRACL or Social Security Pension Insurance pension is granted at full rate mainly in one of the following 2 cases:
- You retire with a sufficient number of quarters pension insurance (it varies according to your year of birth)
- You're going to a fixed age which entitles you automatically a full rate pension, no matter how many quarters you have of pension insurance
FYI
If you worked under other statuses than as an employee (public official, self-employed, etc.) and consequently contributed to several pension funds, this is your total insurance duration, all schemes combined, which is taken into account in determining whether or not you are entitled to full-rate retirement pensions.
The amount of your supplementary retirement from the RAFP or theIrcantec may also be reduced or increased depending on your age of departure.
The conditions for a basic full-rate pension vary depending on whether you are a sedentary, active or contract civil servant:

If you retire before the age of the automatic full rate without having the required number of pension insurance quartersNo, you didn't pitch the right to a full pension. In this case, the amount of your retirement pension is reduced depending on how many quarters you are missing. This reduction is the discount.
If you retire at the age of the automatic full rate, you have right to a full pension, no matter how many quarters you have pension insurance. No haircut is not applied to the amount of your pension.
You can find out how many quarters of pension insurance you have by checking your career statement in your pension account, available on the official pension info website.
Your career statement summarizes, in a chronological manner, all your different professional periods.
You can print and download your career statement.
You can also simulate the amount of your pension at different ages, full or not, using data that is known to your pension funds.
From the age of 55 onwards, you can report to your pension funds the anomalies in your career statement and ask for their correction: missing jobs, inconsistencies, etc.
Your pension funds are directly informed.
You can then follow their treatment on your pension account.
