Question 6665 — pensions: general

Summary

Mr. Francis Vercamer draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to retirement pensions paid to residents abroad. In its 2017 report on the application of social security financing laws, the Court of Auditors examines in particular the system of pensions paid to residents abroad and identifies on this occasion specific risks insufficiently taken into account, highlighting for example highlights a lack of reliability of data and poor monitoring of retirement pension payments. The financial stake is significant: in 2015, the various pension schemes paid 2.7 million benefits to policyholders and beneficiaries abroad for an amount of 6.5 billion euros, or 2.2% of total pension expenditure. The Court, at the end of its work, noted in particular a lack of reliability of the statistical and financial data available on the implementation of European regulations and international social security agreements, the nature of which is not defined with sufficient precision, an insufficiency of actions intended to detect possible fraud, the limited reliability of the periodic verification of the situation of beneficiaries via certificates of existence. It also formulates a certain number of recommendations aimed at guaranteeing the proper payment of basic or supplementary retirement benefits paid to residents abroad, or preventing the payment to residents abroad of benefits which can only be paid to residents in France: dematerialization of exchanges of civil status information with foreign pension organizations, simplification of the certificate of existence, strengthening of controls on parts and on site. He therefore asks him what measures he intends to take in order to improve the management of this system, and to implement the recommendations of the Court of Auditors.
