Will your transfers from the beginning of May be postponed again? With the influx of public holidays at the start of May 2024, and moreover with the sequence of May 8 and Ascension Thursday, basic and supplementary retirement pensions could have been delayed by several days. After all, you shouldn’t be so bad off.
The good or bad news to begin with? Go on bad: if you are one of the 14 million former private sector employees, your Agirc-Arrco supplementary pension from May 2024, paid as always on the first working day of the month, will not be paid on May 1, Labor Day. The transfer to your bank account will be made on Thursday 2nd of May. As always, the effective date of transfer to your account depends on your bank, which may explain why the Agirc-Arrco payment does not appear until the next day or two days after that.

Two days late for Retirement Insurance? No!
And the good news? Your pension from the general system, Retirement Insurance, paid by your Carsat or Cnav, normally occurs on the 9th of the month. Problem: it is Ascension Thursday, which in many companies implies a large bridge, the National Education not planning any courses on Friday May 10 on the school calendar. However, if the 9th is a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, we pay it on the first working day preceding or following, explains Retirement Insurance on its site.
Double problem: the day before May 9 is also a holiday, May 8 celebrating the end of the Second World War in Europe. The fear of a delayed payment is legitimate, but ultimately it has no reason to be. On the contrary, the transfer from Retirement Insurance counting towards the pension for the month of April is this year brought forward by two days, at Tuesday May 7.

And in Alsace-Moselle? This Carsat pays your pension not with a delay of one month but on the 1st day of the month of the monthly payment concerned, like the Agirc-Arrco supplement. The transfer from May 1st is therefore postponed to May 2nd.
Civil servants: pensions paid at the end of the month, as usual
Withdrawals from the public service (State Pension Service, SRE, Rafp additional scheme, CNRACL, Ircantec supplementary scheme, etc.) receive their pension at the end of the month, therefore during the last days of April for the month of April and during the last days of May for the May retreat. Their payment schedule is therefore not disrupted this month.
