History of the carsat and its origins

The carsat is a term for a person responsible for regulating the trade of agricultural products and foodstuffs. The word carsat comes from the Latin carus, meaning “dear” or “costly”.

In the 18th century, the term was used to designate a wholesale merchant of food products.

Carsat today: operation and services

Carsat, or Social Security Fund for Territorial Agents, is a French pension fund created in 2006. It manages the retirement plans for territorial civil servants and local authority agents. Carsat members contribute towards their retirement and can benefit from various services, including mutual health insurance.

Carsat was born from the merger of three pension funds: the CNRACL (National Retirement Fund for Local Authority Agents), the CRAT (Retirement Fund for Territorial Agents) and the Mutualité sociale agricole (MSA). It is today the second largest pension fund in France, with more than 10 million contributors and 2.5 million retirees.

The operation of carsat is based on the principle of solidarity: contributions from workers make it possible to finance retirees' pensions. Contributions are calculated based on the member's salary, family situation and age. Carsat then pays a retirement pension to its members from the age of 60, under certain conditions.
