Knowing the exact payment dates for your basic and supplementary retirement pensions helps you budget effectively for housing, daily expenses, leisure, and more. For former private sector employees, self-employed workers, civil servants, or agricultural workers, these benefits are typically deposited monthly into your bank account—often early in the month. Some funds pay at month-end, while very low amounts may be issued annually or as a lump sum. Funds reach your account based on your bank's processing time. Below are the official 2022 payment dates, drawn from schedules by CNAV, Agirc-Arrco, MSA, CNRACL, and others, tailored to your situation.
Private sector retirees receive basic pensions from CNAV (National Old-Age Insurance Fund) and supplementary from Agirc-Arrco. Payments are monthly, in arrears (for the prior month). Alsace-Moselle retirees under Carsat follow a distinct schedule: 1st of the month or next business day if a weekend/holiday.

Self-employed pensions align closely with employee systems post-reforms (replacing SSI regime). Schedules vary by prior status (artisan, merchant, micro-entrepreneur) and salaried history, distinguishing basic vs. supplementary. No unified annual calendar exists. Generally, Retirement Insurance pays basic pensions monthly in arrears, between the 8th and 10th of the following month.
