Question 8484 — French people abroad

Summary

Regarding the formalities to be completed by pensioners of the general system who settle abroad and their consequences, it should be remembered that when transferring their residence outside France, they must declare this change of situation to their health insurance fund as well as to their pension fund. On the AMELI website, it is specified that the return of the Carte Vitale is not an obligation and when When searching for a contact, a telephone number to dial from abroad is displayed per checkout. On this question, information is available on the website of the Center for European and International Social Security Liaisons and on the AMELI health insurance website in the tab entitled “Europe, international” in order to present the applicable provisions, depending on the situation of the people and their state of residence. Since January 1, 2014, the National Center for French Retirees Abroad has managed files and payments for care received during a stay in France by retirees from the French general system, residing abroad (outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland). It carries out the affiliation of the pensioner residing abroad (creation or transfer of the old affiliation fund depending on the situation), controls the opening of rights, the issuance of the vital card and all necessary activities in the management of these people. All of these systems aim to make communication with retirees living abroad as easy as possible, but they obviously still have room for improvement. Regarding support forms in the context of a transfer of residence in a Member State of the European Union, of the Economic Area European or Swiss, the S1 form allows the social security system to cover the new place of residence on behalf of French social security. This support outside French territory is planned and organized, under the coordination rules of European Regulations No. 883/2004 and 987/2009, taking into account the principles and limits set out therein. It should be noted, however, that the Social security coordination regulations require that this coverage be provided in accordance with health insurance legislation and the formalities in force in the State of residence. Thus, the treatment of pathologies and long-term conditions and their 100% reimbursement are possible, if specific rules exist in the legislation of this State. In the event of a stay in France, however, these people have the possibility of receiving treatment and benefiting from the coverage of all their care according to French regulations.
