INFLATION HELP. The government has announced the payment of a new inflation bonus of 150 euros. For who ? What payment date? We tell you everything.
[Mis à jour le 22 juin 2022 à 08h06] A brand new inflation bonus will be paid at the start of the school year to counter the galloping inflation observed in recent months (5.2% in May over one year). This inflation bonus replaces, for the time being, the food check, finally postponed to October 2022, as announced by the Minister of Agriculture Marc Fesneau, this Monday, May 20 on the airwaves of France Info. This new inflation aid is intended for the poorest, as stated by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, who has just submitted her (rejected) resignation to the President of the Republic. Young people aged 18 to 25 should be among the first beneficiaries, as well as students and low-income families with dependent children. The middle classes are not yet excluded from the system, they could also benefit from it.
This inflation bonus will be paid into the beneficiaries’ accounts in one go, and automatically. Its amount should be 150 euros. However, the cards could well be reshuffled with the recomposition of the National Assembly, following the result of the legislative election. Emmanuel Macron and Together! no longer having an absolute majority, an alliance is already essential to pass such a text. The Republicans could in particular join forces with the majority to try to pass certain proposals whose foundations they share. The formalization of this bonus with the announcement of the purchasing power bill was to take place on July 6, but this date could well be postponed due to the results of the legislative elections, which are quite unfavorable to the majority camp. The calendar remains rather vague, in a tense economic and social context, where the most modest are waiting firmly for the first announcements from the executive in terms of purchasing power.
The emergency aid desired by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne aims to help “the most modest“. The terms are still vague, students, families with children, recipients of social minima… The project still needs to be refined, and the government should speak in the coming weeks, perhaps after the legislative elections. June 12 and 19.
Julien Denormandie, former Minister of Agriculture made it his priority when the food voucher was still relevant. Emmanuel Macron talks to him about “middle classes” and “lower classes“. Families with children and modest incomes could also find themselves in the sights.
To fight against the general increase in consumer prices, and in particular food prices, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced the creation of aid paid directly into the bank account of beneficiaries, from the start of the 2022 school year. information is not yet known, but the scheme could well resemble the old inflation bonus of 100 euros introduced by Emmanuel Macron.
The new aid to fight against inflation and supposed to strengthen the purchasing power of the French desired by Elisabeth Borne will be paid directly into the bank account of the beneficiaries, from the start of the 2022 school year! Those concerned should therefore see a bank transfer appear on their account from September 2022.
The amount of this new Borne inflation bonus could reach 150 euros. The details are not yet clear, in particular concerning the potential start of the food check. Will the two devices be separate? Will the government give up the food check in favor of this new inflation bonus? Nothing is less certain, but the sum of 150 euros advanced by the executive seems for the time being to hold the rope.
