Retirees in Morocco: France Tightens Pension Checks and Life Certificates

The supplementary pension organization is stepping up its checks to ensure that pension beneficiaries are still alive. This operation primarily targets Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Turkey, countries where death notices are not automatically sent to French pension funds. Unlike some residents in Europe, retirees settled in the Kingdom must therefore manually provide periodic proof.

The procedure requires strict compliance: once the confirmation request has been issued, the insured person generally has one month to respond. If no response is received within this period, payment of the supplementary pension is automatically suspended. Although this block is purely administrative and reversible, lifting the suspension and paying the amounts owed may take several weeks after the file has been regularized.

Alongside these checks, Agirc-Arrco urges retirees to remain vigilant against fraud and phishing attempts. The institution reminds people that it never requests confidential bank details, passwords or personal codes. If they receive a suspicious message, retirees in Morocco are advised not to reply and to verify the information directly through their secure personal account on the fund’s official website.
