Some 10.8 million low-income households will receive from September 15 an exceptional aid of 100 euros, plus 50 euros per dependent child, a device provided for by the “purchasing power” law approved this summer, announced this Thursday government.
This “exceptional solidarity aid” will be paid to beneficiaries of social minimums (such as the RSA or the subsidy for disabled adults), as well as scholarship students, indicated the Ministry of Solidarity.
Aid to households that do not benefit from social minimums
It is a “promise of solidarity and social justice for families and for those who are strongly affected by inflation”, launched at “a key moment such as the start of the school year”, stressed Minister Jean-Christophe Combe in a statement sent to AFP.
This boost, the amount of which will be specified later, will be added to the 4% increase in the activity bonus on July 1.
A separate back-to-school allowance system
These measures are part of the “purchasing power” package adopted at the beginning of August by Parliament, initially with 20 billion euros in spending (including in particular the 4% increase in retirement pensions and various allowances), then a budget rectified for 2022 (PLFR) that opens 44,000 million euros in credits.
This exceptional back-to-school bonus has nothing to do with the back-to-school bonus (ARS), paid in two stages in August and granted, subject to means, to families with at least one school child between the ages of six and 18. . .
