The rate of the child’s pension is fixed at:
- 12% of the member’s pension,
- 50% when the child is orphaned of both parents,
- 72% when the child is orphaned of both parents and suffers from a permanent disability as defined in Article R6527-64 of the French Transport Code (for deaths of members on or after 1st January 2013).
However, the total of the orphan’s and survivor’s pensions cannot exceed 100% of the member’s pension. If it exceeds this, the pension allocated to each of the beneficiaries will be reduced proportionally.
