Time of service counting is an essential procedure for pension calculation, allowing the assessment of years and months of service rendered in public administration or equivalent situations. Learn how to submit your request, which types of service time are considered, and the applicable conditions for quota payments.
Time of service is used to determine both the members' eligibility for retirement benefits and the amount of the benefits.
Time of service counting is the procedure in which the length of service is counted and, sometimes, a contribution debt is calculated.
Prior to retirement, the scheme member can, at any time, apply for a previous time of service counting (the final counting is automatically performed during the retirement claim processing).
The time of service counting claim is submitted to the employer by active members and directly to CGA by deferred members.
In both cases, the scheme member / deferred member must gather service proofs, according to which the counting will be processed.
Time of service (or period of membership) represents periods of employment that are either earned or claimed as equalized or extra civil servants service.
Earned service - the member earns one month of reckonable service for each complete month during a year in which he is an employee who works in a position which is full-time (this is the membership normal reckonable service).
Extra service - if the member has years of service in the Public Administration before appointment or military service or if he has worked in a job or situation that entitles him to have the time of service increased (multiplied by 25% or 50%, for instance: military service on fighting areas). In this case, in order to have those periods taken into account, the member will have to demand it and to pay the corresponding contributions.
The contributions the scheme member has to pay in order to have the extra service counted are calculated on the basis of his current pensionable remuneration and at a contribution rate of 8% for each month taken into account.
The payment of extra service contributions is made in full in a lump sum, unless the member demands its payment in equal monthly installments over a period no longer than 5 years / 60 payments (minimal monthly installment of € 50,00), which will be made by deduction from his monthly remuneration (withholding).
Other pension schemes membership periods might be considered for the following purposes, as long as they don't overlap CGA own periods:
