    • The request for a survivor's pension must be made to the Service Retraite who will give you an application form and the list of supporting documents to provide.
    • The pension rights acquired by (or provided to) the father, mother or legal guardian, may revert to an orphan.

      • If the dependent is an adult: it is drafted personally.

Calculation

  • How is the amount of pension calculated
    • The amount of the survivor's pension depends on: 
    • - From the annual value of the point, i.e. €1,5783 as of October 1, 2025
    • It is defined by the following formula:
    • Monthly Retirement Amount = (number of retirement points) X (rate) X (point value) /12
    • - The total number of supplementary retirement points credited to the deceased parent's account, to which a rate is assigned: 
      • Orphan of father OR mother: 25% of the direct rights acquired by the deceased parent.
      • Orphan of father AND mother: 50% of the highest direct rights acquired by the father or mother.
    • The following are thus taken into account:
      • Points acquired from Agirc-Arrco for Monegasque periods prior to January 1, 2024 and which were transferred by Agirc-Arrco to CMRC
      • Points acquired from CMRC for periods of activity, or similar, from January 1, 2024.

Payment

  • Payment Arrangements
    • The pension is paid by transfer to a bank or postal account in the name of the beneficiary:
      • For each calendar month, if resident in Monaco, France or Italy, payment takes place on the first working day of the following month.
      • For each calendar quarter, if resident outside the three previously named countries.
  • Payment Conditions
    • The pension is paid:
      • For a minor child, to the account of the legal guardian,
      • For an adult child, to their own account.
    • The documents to be provided are as follows:

      • For an apprentice aged between 18 and 25: copies of the apprenticeship contract, payslips and a certificate of attendance at training courses.
