Inflation bonus who is eligible in October 2022

2022 ENTRY BONUS. The third payment of the inflation bonus was made, as planned, in mid-October. Didn’t receive anything? Don’t panic, we’ll explain everything to you.

[Mis à jour le 20 octobre 2022 à 09h44] Have you still not received the payment of the inflation bonus even though you are convinced that you are one of the beneficiaries? Keep in mind that delays are likely to occur, particularly due to the processing time of transactions by your bank. This week, seniors over 65 who receive the solidarity allowance for the elderly (aspa), formerly minimum old age are concerned. De facto, the transfer (made on October 15), should arrive before the weekend on your bank account. Still a little bit of patience.

As a reminder, this exceptional back-to-school bonus is intended for the most modest households and is part of the purchasing power law passed this summer by deputies and senators. 11 million households are affected. The amount of this inflation bonus is 100 euros plus 50 euros per additional dependent child. For retirees concerned by this payment in mid-October, the operation is carried out by the National Old Age Insurance Fund (CNAV). No action is to be taken on your side, the payment is automatic because the payment organization knows your bank details. The last payment will take place in mid-November for beneficiaries of the activity bonus. Here, the amount of aid will reach 28 euros plus 14 euros per dependent child.

And if there is a sector heavily impacted by inflation, it is food. You may have noticed it during your checkout, your shopping cart has seen its budget explode in 2022. Here are the items that have suffered the brunt of this price spike:

The emergency aid desired by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne aims to help “the most modest“. Beneficiaries of certain social benefits such as PLAthe RSAI’AAH or theaspa will benefit from it from the start of the 2022 school year. ALF and ALS recipients are also concerned. In reality, it is the poorest French people who will be able to benefit from this new inflation bonus or exceptional back-to-school bonus, i.e. nearly 11 million people. This exceptional back-to-school assistance will also benefit the scholarship students and to the beneficiaries of theSSA. Beneficiaries of overseas solidarity income (SAR), the pension-equivalent allowance (EAR) and the simple allowance for the elderly are also affected by the payment of the inflation bonus before the end of 2022.

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! The 10.8 million households concerned should see a bank transfer appear from September 2022. From now on, the exact date has been set by the executive: the payment will take place on September 15, 2022. On the other hand, for the beneficiaries of the activity bonus, the payment will not take place until two months later, in November. Here is the complete schedule depending on your household situation:

  • September 15 : recipients of social minima and scholarship students
  • September 27 : ASS beneficiaries and fixed monthly premium
  • Mid October : beneficiaries of theaspa
  • Mid November : beneficiaries of the activity bonus

Retirees are among the beneficiaries of the inflation bonus of 100 euros in 2022. To claim it, it is necessary to receive the minimum old age (aspa). The payment date for this exceptional back-to-school bonus has been set for mid-October. The correct receipt of the bank transfer may differ by several days depending on the transaction processing time used by your bank.

The recomposition of the National Assembly could slightly delay the government’s intervention concerning the final details of the inflation bonus of 100 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 paying agencies for 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. For the moment, no decision has been made:

  • Coffee : recipients of social minima
  • Employment center : jobseekers
  • Scholarship students : Crus
  • Officials : State
  • Retired : CNAV
  • Employees : employer
  • Independents : Urssaf

The amount of this new Borne inflation premium will reach 100 euros plus 50 euros per additional dependent child. “In concrete terms, the aid will amount to 200 euros for a household with two children” indicates the executive in his press kit.

Recipients of the active solidarity income (RSA) did receive the inflation bonus in the amount of 100 euros. The payment was scheduled for September 15, 2022. RSA beneficiaries also receive the 4% increase in their allowance linked to the implementation of the purchasing power law.
