AAH 2022 new increase this Friday What amount

AAH 2022. The amount of the disabled adult allowance will be increased tomorrow, Friday July 1, to take inflation into account.

[Mis à jour le 30 juin 2022 à 08h09] D-1 before the revaluation of the AAH! The disabled adult allowance paid by the Caf will increase by 4% to take into account the galloping inflation observed recently. The increase will take effect from July 1, 2022, in other words, from tomorrow. How much will you earn? For a single person without resources, the AAH will increase this summer from 919 euros to 956 eurosa net gain of 37 euros. Good news for its beneficiaries who are seeing their purchasing power gradually eroded by the rise in consumer prices, in particular food and energy (5.2% in May 2022 over one year). The AAH is not the only social benefit which will see its amount revalued this summer, the APL and the RSA will also climb. The food voucher, paid at the start of the school year, could also benefit the beneficiaries of the AAH. Its amount could reach 100 euros, and the payment made automatically. All of these measures in favor of purchasing power are grouped under the purchasing power bill, presented on July 6 in the Council of Ministers. Here is our dedicated file:

The allowance for disabled adults (AAH) is financial assistance that allows you to have a minimum of resources. This aid is granted subject to meeting the criteria of incapacity, age, residence and resources. It is granted by decision of the Commission for the Rights and Autonomy of Persons with Disabilities (CDAPH). Its amount supplements any other resources you may have. Also, be aware that you are required to meet criteria of incapacity, age, residence and resources to obtain it. You must have a degree of incapacity of at least 80%. Note that in 2022, since April 1, the amount of the AAH is increased by 1.8% like several other social benefits.

The amount of the disabled adult allowance varies according to your situation and your income. We summarize the situations that may arise:

  • You are single and destitute: €919.86 per month.
  • You receive a pension or an annuity or you work in an ordinary environment: the amount of the AAH corresponds to the difference between the amount of your resources and the amount of the AAH for a single person without resources. This is the reason why, if the social benefit is granted to you, you must make a quarterly declaration (read below).
  • You are hospitalized, housed in a specialized reception center or imprisoned: financial assistance is paid at the full rate for 60 days. After this period, the sum is reduced to 30%, i.e. €271.08 per month. The amount of the AAH is recalculated according to your situation when you leave the establishment.

Regarding the amount of the AAH, keep in mind that under certain conditions, the Caf does not take into account the professional income of the person who either stops working to take care of a child under 3 years old or of several children, either is unemployed and is not compensated, or is deprived of employment and benefits from the AAAH, or is a beneficiary of the Rsa.

Sometimes, the Caf carries out a lump sum assessment annual resources from the current monthly salary. Also, in case of separation, divorce Where widowhoodthe CAF does not take into account the income of your former spouse or partner from the month following the event.

The fixed reduction of €5,000 provided for by the first paragraph of Article L. 821-3 is applied to income received by the spouse, cohabiting partner or partner bound by a civil solidarity pact which falls under the following categories: (non-exhaustive list). To find the complete list, go to Legifrance website.

  • Income from commercial, craft, liberal or agricultural activities
  • Salaries and wages, pensions, life annuities free of charge and remuneration of managers and partners
  • The guaranteed remuneration paid by the establishment or the work assistance service which hosts it

Currently, the spouse’s income is taken into account to determine eligibility for AAH (see below). Several associations for the defense of the rights of disabled people and feminist associations are calling for the individualization of the AAH, and a petition has exceeded 100,000 signatures. We then speak of “deconjugalization”, the associations believing that the handicap cannot be a given that is shared.

The Senate recently voted in favor of such a measure, but the government remains firmly opposed to it. The Secretary of State for People with Disabilities, Sophie Cluzel, delivered an indictment against the proposal. She affirms that she “comes to question the heart of our principles of solidarity and redistribution”.

In mid-June, the government forced the National Assembly to vote on a revision of the calculation of the disabled adult allowance (AAH) for people in couples, dismissing its “individualization” yet widely supported in the hemicycle and by the associative world. De facto, the income of the spouse will always be taken into account.

To benefit from the AAH, it is necessary to be at least 20 years old. Or 16 years old if you are no longer considered dependent on your parents for the allocation of CAF allowances. Since 2017, there is no longer an age limit, however, if your disability rate is between 50% and 79%the payment of the AAH stops at the age of 60 years.

To be eligible for the disabled adult allowance, it is necessary to fulfill three conditions relating to age, residence and incapacity. you must be old more than 20 years and reside in France. In addition, you must have a incapacity greater than 80% Where from 50 to 79% correlated with a “substantial and lasting” restriction of access to employment. As a reminder, this rate is assessed by the Commission for the Rights and Autonomy of Persons with Disabilities (CDAPH), according to a scale “for the assessment of the deficiencies and incapacities of persons with disabilities”.

Your income is also studied. The categorical net income – which lists all your income (salaries, property income), less charges and tax allowances – is taken into consideration. Here is a summary of the resource limits not to be exceeded:

Resource ceilings not to be exceeded to receive the allowance
Number of dependent childrenIf you are singleIf you are in a relationship
0€10,832€19,607
1€16,249€25,023
2€21,665€30,439
3€27,081€35,855
4€32,497€41,271

Note: income dating back two years is taken into account. Do you want to assess your rights to the AAH? This is possible, thanks to the simulator set up by the State services. To view it, click here.

Yes, it is possible, provided you meet the criteria mentioned above. The service-public.fr site makes it clear that the active solidarity income is considered as a subsidiary allowance to other benefits. Clearly, the amount of the RSA will be reduced by the amount of the AAH collected.

There is no automatic renewal of the AAH. Except for persons with disabilities of at least less 80% since January 1, 2020. However, we recommend that you complete a renewal file to avoid any dispute. The maximum durations of payment vary according to the degree of incapacity. Of 1 to 20 years for a rate of at least 80%. Only from 1 to 5 years for a rate between 50% and 79% of incapacity.

To apply for a disabled adult allowance, you must download the Cerfa form n° 15692*01, here by clicking on the “Approach” box. Once you have completed it, you must send it to the Departmental House for People with Disabilities (MDPH). The answer must be given within four months. Beyond that, you can consider that your request has been rejected.

You must file your income statement every three months. with the Family Allowance Fund when you are an AAH recipient and work in an ordinary environment. This declaration makes it possible to adjust, if necessary, the amount of the social benefit. The procedure is simple. Here is how you can make your quarterly declaration: either you use Cerfa form 14208*01 that you send to the Caf duly completed, or you declare your resources directly online, in your dedicated personal space on the Caf website.

If your file is accepted, the aid is paid to you by the Caf. The duration of payment of the disabled adult allowance varies according to your situation:

  • You have a disability rate greater than or equal to 80% : it is paid for a period between 1 and 10 years. If the beneficiary’s disability is unlikely to change favorably, the duration of the payment can exceed 5 years without exceeding the threshold of 20 years.
  • You have a disability rate between 50% and 79% : the AAH is paid for a period of 1 to 2 years. The duration can be extended to 5 years if the beneficiary’s disability has little chance of changing positively.
