The government will not ask 206,000 retirees to pay CSG sums to the National Old Age Insurance Fund (Cnav), which were not initially requested by the administration following an error in calculation, he said Thursday evening.

The magazine

Capital

had revealed on September 9 that more than 200,000 retirees had been applied, since January 1, a rate of CSG (generalized social contribution) not corresponding to their level of resources.

This rate had been increased in early 2018, particularly affecting retirees.

Faced with protests, 350,000 homes of low-income retirees and retirees had been exempted from it, and the government had then introduced a "smoothing" device, the application of which had failed.

This summer, the Cnav sent a letter to those affected by these errors, asking them for a refund.

🚨 I asked the CNAV, with @pietraszewski_l, not to claim the outstanding amounts of CSG on 206,000 pensions, to which an incorrect rate was applied.



Retirees should not suffer administrative errors, they will thus be able to keep these 190 € on average.

In a tweet Thursday evening, Olivier Dussopt, Minister Delegate for Public Accounts, said he "asked the CNAV, with Laurent Pietraszewski (Secretary of State for Pensions, Editor's note), not to claim the remains to be collected from CSG on 206,000 pensions, to which an incorrect rate was applied ”.

"Retirees should not suffer administrative errors, they will be able to keep these 190 euros on average," said Olivier Dussopt.
