The exceptional pension aims to provide social protection for deserving groups, and to honor those who have provided distinguished services to the nation or been exposed to accidents considered public disasters.
Below we explain how to obtain an exceptional pension from the Ministry of Solidarity?

Those entitled to the exceptional pension include:
The pensioner himself or his beneficiaries who are family members.

The applicant must have previous periods of service in the government or public sector in accordance with Ministerial Resolution No. 3 of 2009.
He must not have open insurance periods.
If the pension is less than 1,500 pounds, a social investigation must be submitted.
