The Court of Auditors makes a severe judgment on the financial year, in 2020, of the general social security system. In a report published on Tuesday, May 18, she noted “A deterioration in the reliability of the accounts” and declares himself “Unable to certify” those that relate to “Collection activity” – that is to say, the collection of contributions paid by companies and workers.
The National Old Age Insurance Fund (CNAV), like the other branches of the scheme, is the target of several criticisms, one of which concerns a particularly sensitive issue: “Errors” having a “Financial scope” on pensions “Newly assigned[s] or revised[s] “. Such anomalies, to the detriment or in favor of those affected, are not new, but the situation has worsened: in 2020, they concerned one in six cases (16.4%) against “One in nine”, five years ago, according to the Court’s calculations based on a sample of nearly 9,400 cases. Three quarters of these dysfunctions penalize the insured. At the CNAV, it is indicated that the shortfall “Median” was 123 euros per year in 2020, which means that half of the injured individuals suffered damage equal to or greater than this amount while, for the other half of the affected policyholders, the amount not received is equal to or less than 123 euros. This median value was higher in 2019, it is pointed out at the CNAV: 139 euros.
The phenomenon seems to be more acute for certain benefits, in particular the solidarity allowance for the elderly (ex-minimum old age) where “The frequency of errors reaches 23.8%”, according to the magistrates of the rue Cambon. Another black point highlighted in the press release accompanying the dissemination of the report: “The correct taking into account of the contributions paid by the self-employed for the calculation of their pensions and the measurement of the errors which affect them are imperfectly assured. “
Save money “
All these deficiencies “Reflect the persistent weaknesses of the risk management system and reveal a particularly degraded situation”, in the eyes of the Court. The CNAV, for its part, invokes several explanatory factors: difficulties in gathering all the supporting documents, in particular for individuals who have had disrupted careers, the number of which has increased over the years; complexity of regulation.
