Is the French pension paid without an application?
The pension from L'Assurance Retraite must be applied for before the desired departure date, because it is not paid automatically and a late application is not backdated.
Do you give advice on what to do?
No. We identify where a pension is likely held and the official route to it, and we name each source with the date we read it. We do not give financial, tax or legal advice.
