“There is no delay, we will be there. » The thirty-one implementing texts for the pension reform will be published before 1er September, the date of entry into force of the reform, said Wednesday, May 10, the office of the Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt.

“There is a form of priority” to publish the texts first “which determine the age of departure” and those “which give new rights” such as the increase to 85% of the minimum wage (1,200 euros gross) of the minimum pension for all those who have contributed for a full career (forty-three years), still according to the same source.

The government and the administration are under pressure to put to music a reform rejected by the unions and a large part of the opinion. The unions are watching the grain and will not fail to rush into the slightest legal breach when the decrees are published.

For the moment, two draft decrees have already been drafted by the departments of the ministry, and are currently subject to consultation, in particular with the National Pension Fund, again according to Mr. Dussopt’s cabinet. . One of these two decrees, which concerns the application of the reform to civil servants, was submitted for an opinion to the Council of State. Other decrees, the number of which is not yet known, will follow this path to obtain maximum legal security.

Revalued pensions

On the delicate subject of the revaluation of the minimum pension, this will be effective from 1er September for all people retiring from that date, ured the firm of Mr. Dussopt. For all people who are already retired, but who should benefit from it (1.8 million people), ” the majority “ will receive an upgraded pension upon payment, in early October, of their pension for the month of September, according to the ministry. For the others, their pensions will be revalued “in the following months, with retroactivity” on the first of September.

In a general way, ” nobody “ currently retired will only have to return to work when the detailed rules of the game for the reform have been fixed, confirmed the office of the Minister of Labor, as Mr. Dussopt said at the National embly on Thursday. This clarification came after a question from the deputy of Hauts-de-Seine Elsa Faucillon (Democratic and Republican Left-Nupes), who drew attention on Wednesday in the National embly to “thousands of women and men suspended from the publication of the implementing decrees, to determine whether or not they should withdraw their request for retirement”.
