Question 14756 — pensions: agricultural regime

Summary

Mrs Sylvie Ferrer questions the Minister of Labor and Solidarity on the consequences of the pension reform for farmers. Indeed, from 2026, the basic retirement of non-agricultural employees is calculated over the best 25 years of an agricultural career, according to adapted methods distinguishing periods of activity before and after 2016. Under the guise of better taking into account the realities experienced by farmers, This reform actually entails very worrying additional costs for them in terms of healthcare coverage. In fact, it largely affects the allocation of complementary solidarity health insurance (CSS) for many farmers. Since the catch-up compensation paid for previous years is now included in the calculation of resources, this leads to the exclusion of many retired farmers from benefiting from the CSS. The latter are then forced to take out mutual insurance, the cost of which can be particularly high compared to the amount of their pension. While the Government presents this reform apparently as an advance in terms of justice and equity for farmers, it is in reality a question of promoting the interests of private mutual societies which take advantage of it to subscribe to the most expensive packages for people in situation of precariousness and vulnerability. This reform therefore further weakens a population already particularly exposed to economic difficulties, by passing off a factor of exclusion from solidarity measures as a mechanism for upgrading. To put an end to the scam of private supplements who gorge themselves on the backs of farmers, La France insoumise calls for the establishment of 100% Social Security. She immediately asks that agricultural pensions be raised to the level of the revalued minimum wage for a full career, including for current retirees. She therefore asks him if he intends to immediately correct these particularly harmful effects, intended once again to promote the interests of private companies and guarantee that farmers are not penalized in their access to care, or if he assumes that a reform presented as equitable leads to excluding the most modest from national solidarity.
