How is the Amount of This Benefit Calculated

To calculate the amount of the bonus benefit, a number of bonus points is determined in the first year.

Each year, the amount of the bonus is calculated as follows:
(Number of bonus points) X (Number of months of receipt of CAR retirement pension during the reference year)(1) X (Monthly value of the bonus point)

The monthly value of the bonus point is set annually by Ministerial Decree. For the year 2024, it is set at 0.006675 euros.
It corresponds to:

⁽¹⁾ For the first financial year, which ends on 30 September 2024, the number of months of receipt of CAR retirement pension corresponds to the period from January to September 2024 and is capped at 9.

What Are the Payment Methods

The supplementary retirement pension bonus benefit is paid annually before 30 November following the end of the financial year.

Exceptionally, the first payment – for the year 2024 – may be made in the course of 2025 if the examination of the application submitted so requires

The bonus benefit is paid by transfer to the same bank or post office account used for CAR pension.
