The objective of the 100 euros bonus is to respond to the distress of the poorest households, whose finances are undermined by galloping inflation. Foodstuffs, energy prices … Many goods and services have increased in recent months due to the strong economic recovery following the coronavirus health crisis. Initially, the executive had worked on setting up a fuel check, intended for households owning a vehicle, and who saw the fuel bill explode with the rise in oil prices. However, this device turned out to be very difficult to implement, to such an extent that the government preferred to abandon it, opting for a broader solution, and allowing households to pay for expenses other than fuel.

Announced by the government last month, it is aimed at the middle classes, regardless of their status:

  • Private sector employees
  • Officials
  • Scholarship students and students receiving the APL. Note: scholarship students must receive an email from Crous to communicate their personal situation. “Thank you for paying attention to your spam!”, Warns the Crous on Twitter. “Only fellows having received the monthly scholarship for October will receive the inflation allowance in December and have therefore received an email. For other scholarship students, payment will take place in January, the date on which we will carry out a new survey by email “.
  • Retirees and seniors touchingASPA
  • The self-employed and self-employed
  • Job seekers
  • Beneficiaries of social minima (RSA, AAH, etc.)

The bonus of 100 euros is granted individually. In other words, the composition of the household is not taken into account to determine eligibility for inflation compensation. Thus, a couple can receive up to 200 euros, i.e. 100 euros each or only 100 euros if only one of the spouses meets the income conditions (read below). In total, 38 million French people will benefit from the 100 euro inflation check.

But who is affected? To determine eligibility for inflation compensation, the government has set a ceiling: are therefore concerned French people who earn less than 2,000 euros net per month – before application of the withholding tax -, whatever their status and profession. To determine the benchmark salary, the executive retained the month of October 2021.

The inflation compensation experienced some difficulties during its legislative course. After being adopted in the National Assembly as part of the amending finance bill for 2021, the bonus of 100 euros was canceled in the Senate, the right-wing majority deeming the device unsuitable. Finally, the deputies still had the last word, allowing the final adoption of the bonus of 100 euros.

The Family Allowance Fund will be responsible for paying the premium of 100 euros in several cases. Linternaute.com summarizes them for you:

  • Students who receive APL
  • AAH beneficiaries
  • Beneficiaries of RSA
  • Employees on full-time parental education leave
  • Beneficiaries of the shared child education benefit (PreParE)

As a reminder, there is no action to take if you are concerned with your family allowances fund, since the payment will be made automatically.

The inflation premium is intended to be paid between December 2021 and February 2022. No specific date could be brought forward for technical reasons. In fact, the payment will have to be ensured through several channels, depending on the beneficiary’s situation. Here is the payment schedule envisaged by the government:

  • End of December 2021: this is the date on which employees will receive their inflation compensation, directly on their payslip. The employer will be responsible for the payment, before being compensated by the State in a second step. The self-employed are also affected by this deadline, as are scholarship students.
  • End of January 2022 : the State will proceed to the payment of the inflation allowance for civil servants, job seekers, invalids, students receiving APL and beneficiaries of social minima.
  • February 2022 : it is at this date that retirees should receive the inflation allowance.

To be eligible you must earn less than 2,000 euros net per month, i.e. 2,600 euros gross for the month October 2021, whether you are a civil servant, employee, self-employed or retired. Note: this limit of 2,000 euros net corresponds to your remuneration before withholding tax. On the payslip, it will therefore simply be necessary to check the line “net to pay before income tax“, above” net payable “.

Warning: if you are on a short contract (excluding temporary work), the payment of the bonus of 100 euros is not automatic “if the cumulative working time with the same employer is less than 20 hours”, warns the government in its file. hurry. “It will assume that the beneficiary expressly reports to one of his employers, preferably the one with whom the employment relationship is still ongoing, or failing that the one for which they worked the most hours during the month of October “.
