Provision for public officials
Supplementary health and welfare: new contracts offered to state officials in 2025
Publié le 16 août 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
New contractual provisions will be proposed to State officials in the coming months on supplementary health and supplementary health insurance. They are intended to improve the payment of health costs and the conditions of remuneration of staff in the event of incapacity for work. Service-Public.fr takes stock of the Decree on Supplementary Social Protection for State Civil Servants issued on 4 July 2024, which will enter into force on 1 Julyer January 2025.
The Interministerial Agreement of 26 January 2022 on supplementary social protection in respect of costs incurred in connection with maternity, sickness or accident in the public service of the State introduced a system of supplementary health insurance to cover compulsory membership. It provides a minimum interdepartmental basket of care for all public servants.
This obligation should apply progressively from 2025 to all employers in the State and, for those with so-called ‘benchmarked’ contracts, as these contracts expire.
Except in cases of exemption, active public officials will have to sign collective contracts selected by their employers and will benefit from a 50 % of the contribution.
Former retired staff and dependants of officials who so wish will be able to benefit from these contracts, with special contributions.
The interministerial agreement of 20 October 2023 on the improvement of welfare guarantees (incapacity for work, invalidity, death) in the State civil service provides for an obligation for state employers to offer employees a contract covering provident risks.
FYI
Since 1er In January 2022, public officials may be reimbursed part of their supplementary social protection (mutual) contributions intended to cover health costs. It is a flat-rate payment of a monthly amount of €15 paid by the public employer. This temporary health reimbursement scheme is intended to ensure the transition to a new supplementary social protection scheme which will be introduced progressively from 1er January 2025.
