Early retirement for long careers extended to civil servants
Article 119 of the 2005 Finance Act creates Article L. 25 bis of the civil and military pensions code: the retirement age of 60 is lowered for State civil servants with at least 168 quarters of insurance. It becomes 59 from 1 January 2005 (160 contributed quarters, work started before 17), 58 from 1 July 2006 (164 quarters, before 16) and 56 from 1 January 2008 (168 quarters, before 16). It also applies to State industrial workers. Article 57 of the 2005 Social Security Financing Act provides the same scheme for civil servants in the CNRACL fund (local and hospital staff) from 1 January 2005. Claims must be made before the 60th birthday.
