How to apply for a monthly retirement allowance

The monthly retirement allowance is a form of complementary income support. The allowance may be paid in full or in instalments.

To be eligible for this allowance you must:

• Be of non-Monegasque nationality and have been residing in the Principality on a continuous and regular basis for at least five years at the time of submitting their application (Monegasque nationals fall under the State Benefits for the Elderly dealt with by Monaco Town Hall)
• Be over 65 years of age or at least 60 years of age for persons declared unfit for work
• Have a level of income that does not exceed the limit determined annually by Ministerial Decree

The beneficiaries of minimum old-age pensions living at home may benefit from supplementary social allowances in particular in the form of tickets for services and an annual heating allowance.   

They may benefit from a housing allowance provided they have lived in the national territory for at least fifteen years at the time of making their application.
