January 2026 Pension Payment Dates: Why Some Retirees Will See “Late” Transfers in France—While Guinea’s CNSS Paid Early

January 2026 Pension Payment Dates: Why Some Retirees Will See “Late” Transfers in France—While Guinea’s CNSS Paid Early

As 2025 turns into 2026, pension payment timing is becoming a major talking point—especially for retirees planning budgets right after the holiday season. In France, New Year’s Day (Thursday, January 1, 2026) is a public holiday, and several pension funds do not process transfers on holidays or weekends.

JDN+2Agirc-Arrco+2 At the same time, in Guinea, the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) took the opposite approach—bringing forward January 2026 pension payments to Tuesday,
