For the purposes of 3° of Article L. 142-3 of the French Insurance Code, the retirement savings plan may provide additional cover in the event of the insured person’s loss of autonomy, provided it meets the following conditions:
1° The contract entitles the insured person to the payment of a lump sum or a life annuity;
2° The contract includes a mechanism for reducing rights in the event of non-payment of premiums, under which the amount of benefits may not be reduced :
a) By more than 75% after more than eight years of contributions under the supplementary cover;
b) By more than 50% after more than fifteen years of contributions under the supplementary cover;
3° Loss of autonomy is assessed using the national grid referred to in article L. 232-2 of the Social Action and Family Code. The contract may, however, provide for additional benchmarks and assessment methods in cases where the assessment carried out using the aforementioned grid would not enable the insurance undertaking to recognise the state of dependency covered by the contract;
4° The contract does not provide for an absolute deductible period or a relative deductible period of more than two months;
5° The contract does not provide for medical selection for potential policyholders under the age of 50. An insurance company may only make a medical selection if it relates exclusively to a pre-existing disability or long-term condition;
6° The contract provides for a mechanism for the annual revaluation of the capital and annuities in accordance with a procedure laid down in the contract.
