The old collective utility work, or TUC, now allows you to validate quarters with a view to your future retirement. A retired MoneyVox reader, Isabelle, wonders if she will be able to increase her current pension thanks to this law. Unfortunately for Isabelle, the news only concerns upcoming retirements.
Question from Isabelle, September 14, 2023:
I am already retired. Will this new law be retroactive?
Hello Isabelle and thank you for your question, posed in reaction to an article on the quarters validated for work of collective utility (TUC), periods carried out mainly during the 1980s and until now categorized as internships which did not give rise to contributions . The pension reform paves the way for declaring your TUC periods, in order to validate the quarters concerned. But, unfortunately for you, Isabelle, the answer is No: neither the new law nor the decree dedicated to the TUC provides for retroactivity of this provision.
Applicable to pensions taking effect from September 1, 2023
Clearly, the validation of quarters for TUC is applicable to pensions taking effect from September 1, 2023, to cite an extract from the application decree published at the end of August 2023 Official newspaper.

Without waiting for the upcoming publication of a circular on TUC by Retirement Insurance, there is no need for suspense at this stage. Isabelle, if you have already liquidated your retirement rights, the retroactive validation of TUC quarters will not allow you to increase your pension.
