The Vanishing Essential Document: Understanding the Impact of Extended Careers and Short Retirement Plans

A significant change has occurred on the retirement insurance website, with the “Consult my career statement” feature disappearing since February 2025. Users are now directed to Info-Retraite.fr for an “inter-scheme” career statement, which lacks detailed information previously available, such as the count of contributed quarters essential for retirement calculations. This transition has raised concerns, especially for those with long careers, as crucial earnings data is no longer accessible. The Union Retraite group is working to address these gaps.

Shocking News: The Detailed Career Statement from Retirement Insurance Has Vanished!

1 – What Document Has Disappeared and Why?

If you’ve been accustomed to browsing your personal area on lassuranceretraite.fr, you might have noticed a significant change recently. The “Consult my career statement” option has officially vanished as of February 2025. While this may come as a surprise, it’s not entirely a secret. A notification now greets users on the homepage of the Retirement Insurance dashboard upon logging in.

Now, when you click on “Consult my career,” you are redirected to the Info-Retraite.fr portal, where all your retirement scheme information is consolidated. Here, you will find an “inter-scheme” career statement, although it does not mirror the specific details of the previous document.

Career statements at ages 35, 40, or 45 can significantly influence your future retirement plans.

2 – Why Was This Document Valuable for Those with Long Careers?

The issue at hand is that the previous statement offered a more “technical” insight compared to the “inter-scheme” statement now available on Info-Retraite.fr. Certain essential information could only be located in this previous document, particularly the count of contributed quarters. This is distinct from validated quarters, which encompass a broader range of criteria. These contributed quarters are crucial for determining the minimum retirement benefits, often referred to as “minimum contributory,” and are closely related to the complex calculations required for early retirement in case of long careers.

According to representatives from the Union Retraite group, which oversees Info-Retraite.fr, there hasn’t been much concern regarding this document’s disappearance among retirees and those nearing retirement, which is why the change was implemented quietly.

This statement also provided a thorough and detailed account of your earnings, both in euros and francs. This information was invaluable for understanding if your summer jobs were adequate for validating your work quarters during your youthful years from ages 16 to 20. “This statement was crucial for those with long careers,” emphasizes Pascale Gauthier from Novelvy Retraite. “Its absence is a significant loss!”

3 – Where Can You Find the Missing Information?

“The inter-scheme service associated with the RGCU (unique career management directory) ‘Consult my career’ does not provide certain information that many insured individuals often seek, such as the validated quarters for child increases,” acknowledges Philippe Bainville from the Cnav press service. “We are actively working to resolve these gaps.”

So, where can you now obtain this information? The answer no longer lies with your Carsat or the Retirement Insurance but rather with the Union Retraite group managing Info-Retraite.fr. In an effort to streamline processes, this portal is now the sole access point for a comprehensive statement that encompasses information across all your retirement schemes.
