Morocco's National Social Security Fund (CNSS) announced on Monday that, starting May 1, 2025, old-age pensions will be implemented for individuals who retired between January 1, 2023, and the effective date of Law 02.24. This measure is part of Decree 2.25.265, which was recently adopted. To qualify, beneficiaries must have between 1,320 and fewer than 3,240 days of insurance. The pension will be retroactively applied from the retirement date. The monthly amount will range from 600 to 1,000 dirhams, depending on the number of contribution days, and will include coverage under the Mandatory Health Insurance (AMO). In the event of the death of an insured person who met the 1,320-day requirement, their beneficiaries will be eligible to apply for a survivor's pension. If the insured person did not meet the minimum required days, they or their beneficiaries may request a reimbursement of contributions—both theirs and the employer's—in accordance with current legislation. Applications can be submitted starting May 1 via the «TAAWYDATI» portal or at CNSS agencies. Additionally, under Decree 2.25.266, the method for calculating contribution days for share fishermen, along with the redistribution of their vessels' income, will be determined by a decision of the Minister of Economy and Finance. This aims to ensure continuous social and medical coverage for this category of workers. Both decrees were adopted during the government council held last Thursday.
