INFLATION HELP. The new inflation bonus of 150 euros will be paid automatically at the start of the school year, for an estimated cost of 1 billion euros.
[Mis à jour le 29 juin 2022 à 08h13] Scheduled for September 2022, the payment of the brand new inflation bonus should concern 9 million households. Beneficiaries of certain social benefits such as APL, AAH, RSA oraspa will be affected. The amount of this inflation bonus could reach 100 euros for everyone, plus 50 euros per dependent child. It could also be distributed to young people aged 18 to 25 and to students. The government should take the floor in the coming days to announce the exact contours of this inflation bonus. This new aid should be presented by decree, and not be part of the purchasing power bill. Will it be distributed in addition to the food voucher? Will the government decide to combine the two aids? Answer in a few days.
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. 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!. Regarding purchasing power, the rent control was announced by Prime Minister Bruno Le Maire on Monday June 27, the increase in rents cannot exceed 3.5% in 2022.
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. One thing is certain, recipients of social benefits like the APL, the RSA, the AAH and the Aspa will benefit from it.
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.
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 100 euros plus 50 euros per dependent child. 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? Answer in the next few weeks.
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
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. This time, the aid should rise to 150 euros and benefit more than 9 million beneficiaries.
