INFLATION HELP. A new inflation aid of 150 euros will be distributed to low-income households in 2022. What date of payment? For who ? We tell you everything.
[Mis à jour le 13 juin 2022 à 08h17] The galloping inflation of recent months is still progressing (5.2% in May over one year), a big blow for the purchasing power of the French, taken by the throat in particular by the rise in food prices. This is why the Government announced last week the establishment of a brand new inflation aid which will be distributed from the back to school 2022 ! Are concerned, “the most modest” in the words of Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne. The executive should position itself more precisely on the issue, the day after the legislative elections on June 12 and 19. The amount of this inflation aid could be 150 euros. The payment would be made in one go to the beneficiary’s bank account, and automatically.
Inflation aid currently replaces the food voucher, which is too complex to set up, particularly with regard to the list of products concerned. The food check project is currently postponed to 2023, as Budget Minister Gabriel Attal said on Friday June 10. These measures aimed at giving a serious boost to the purchasing power of French households should be the subject of an official announcement during the summer, when the purchasing power bill is presented. Texts examined on June 29 in the Council of Ministers, then presented to the National Assembly.
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.
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.
