Reform of permanent incapacity compensation for workplace accident victims: entry into force postponed to 1 November 2026

Article 96 of the 2026 Social Security Financing Act postpones from 1 June to 1 November 2026 the reform of compensation for permanent incapacity after workplace accidents and occupational diseases (2025 Act, article 90 V), which splits the pension into an occupational and a functional part, and adapts the permanent-incapacity retirement scheme. Decrees no. 2026-354 and 2026-355 of 7 May 2026 set the implementing rules and confirm the 1 November 2026 start.
