INFLATION HELP. To counter galloping inflation, a new inflation bonus of 150 euros will be paid to the poorest in autumn 2022. All the details.
[Mis à jour le 23 juin 2022 à 08h04] An exceptional inflation bonus of 150 euros will be paid at the start of the 2022 school year. This is the new system which should be deployed by the government to take inflation into account (5.2% in May over twelve rolling months) and allow the most modest to bail out their wallets. This new check will be paid automatically into the bank account of the beneficiaries, without any action on their part. The amount should amount to 150 euros. This is 50 euros more than the first inflation bonus launched in the winter of 2021 by Emmanuel Macron. It had benefited more than 38 million French people.
The new 2022 inflation bonus replaces for the time being the energy voucher, which is too complex to set up and which should only see the light of day in 2023. It should be intended, as a priority, for young people aged 18 to 25, students , as well as low-income families with dependent children. It is not excluded that the middle classes also benefit from it. It now remains to be seen how the group Ensemble! and Emmanuel Macron will be able to govern without an absolute majority, since the results of the last legislative elections. An alliance with Les Républicains is not to be excluded, although it is not unanimous within the right, in particular among the secretary general of the party, Aurélien Pradié, fiercely opposed to a coalition with the government in place. 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. Several other measures announced such as the tripling of the Macron bonus, the abolition of the TV license fee or the extension of the tariff shield are also expected, but could fall through without a sufficient coalition for Together!.
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 check 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.
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.
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 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 recomposition of the National Assembly could slightly delay the government’s intervention concerning the final details of the inflation bonus of 150 euros paid in the fall of 2022. In particular concerning the paying bodies. For the time being, we do not know who pays the inflation bonus according to the status of the beneficiaries. Referring to the organizations paying the first inflation bonus distributed to 38 million French people at the start of the year, here is who from the Caf or Pôle Emploi, for example, will pay the new inflation bonus:
- Coffee : recipients of social minima
- Employment center : jobseekers
- Officials : State
- Retired : CNAV
- Employees : employer
- Independents : Urssaf
