People who do not receive the ASPA can apply for the simple social assistance allowance for the elderly.
What is the amount of the ASPA in 2023?
The ASPA amounts to a maximum of €961.08 per month for a single person (or if only one of the two people in a couple receives the Aspa) and €1,492.08 when both members of the couple receive ASPA. The amount of your resources is calculated on the income of the 3 months preceding the application for ASPA or, if they exceed the maximum amount, on the last 12 months. The difference between your resources and the ceiling (revised on 1er January of each year) will determine the amount of the ASPA. The amount allocated to you is equal to the difference between this amount and your monthly income. This means that, for a single person, if you receive €800 each month, the ASPA amount will be €961.08 – €800= €161.08. If your income as a couple amounts to €1,000, the amount paid will be €1,492.08 – €1,000 = €492.08 per month. The amount is then paid to you from the 1st day of the month following the date of receipt of your request. If your income, family situation or place of residence changes, you must inform the pension fund.
► If your pension is paid by Social Security or by the State Pension Fund, you must submit a request to the National Old-Age Insurance Fund (Cnav).
