Nearly 2 million individuals who have completed TUC, for work of collective utility, or other integration courses should in theory benefit from the advances provided for by the pension reform. Except that the beneficiaries of long careers are always penalized.
Correct the injustices of the past. This was one of the government’s promises during the implementation of the pension reform: quarters of work of collective utility, other integration courses until now not recorded by the Retirement Insurance must now provide right of valid quarters. Quarters allowing you to reach the full rate more quickly.
Concretely, the law of April 14, 2023 on corrective financing of social security for 2023 modified article L. 351-3 of the social security code. It thus provides that the training periods for which the contributions were covered by the State will now be taken into account for the opening of pension rights.
Pension reform: when will your TUC terms be integrated into your career?
As a result, all the terms completed by vocational training trainees within the framework of the TUC are now taken into consideration.
We’ve been waiting for 40 years for the TUC to finally be recognized as work… and we’re only given half!
The regulatory system has also been modified in this sense and is operational to take these quarters into account for employees exercising their retirement rights at the legal retirement age now set at 64 years. However, it remains that the regulatory provisions allowing the taking into account of quarters deemed to be contributed as a TUC for the benefit of the long career scheme, allowing policyholders to benefit from a departure before the age of 64…, indicates a press release from the TUC association, the forgotten people of retirement.
The threat from the Council of State
We’ve been waiting for 40 years for the TUC to finally be recognized as work… and we’re only given half of it!, MoneyVox recently explained Franck Rougier, member of the TUC association, les oublis. In the association, some can only leave early one month before the new legal age… If their TUC quarters were deemed to be paid contributions, it would be 13 months before!.
In this context, the association is moving up a gear and officially seizes the government to take the necessary regulatory measures. In the event of refusal or absence of response, we will contact the Council of State so that the supreme jurisdiction of the administrative order orders the government to modify the regulatory texts applicable in this matter, explains the association.
