Tracing French Pensions

You are certainly entitled to a French pension for your stint working for French companies. As you have your Secu number and payslips there should be no problem although it might take a little time. Try writing to the CNAV of the district you worked in. Also the Retraite Complementaire of the area. Sorry, I can't give you info about an agent or organization which could do the job for you.

I receive a French pension, Spanish pension, small British pensionevery quarter plus the French retraite Complementaire and a supplementary pension every quarter as I worked for an international law firm. But I live in France and was so eager to retire that I began to work on it quite early despite retiring later than usual. Hope some element can be of use to you. Patience and persistence!!! ! 

You are entitled to a pension after one quarter.

Hi Roy,

I am retired since 2017 and when I had to understand and claim for the 40 years I worked in France,I called on a lady who specialises on the subject.

I dont know if she is still practising,I will give you her name and cell,you can try.

I'd just add that you want to be sure all your work has been counted. Once they certify the dossier, you may be out of luck. I know a case where an agent simply refused to believe there could be earnings from a job at an early age, so there was a scene at the office, but the person had kept all the records -- and won.
