The deputies approved on the night of Wednesday to Thursday several reforms aimed at unbundling the disabled adult allowance (AAH), presented and debated during the examination of the bill “on emergency measures for the protection of purchasing power”.
During the last five years, the oppositions (LR and PCF, in particular) proposed on several occasions the deconjugation of this subsidy for people in a couple, that is to say to calculate it without taking into account the income of the spouse. But the presidential majority has always voted against it, until today.
Implementation by October 2023
Created in 1975, the AAH is intended to compensate for the inability to work. With a maximum amount of 904 euros per month, it is paid based on medical and social criteria. It now has more than 1.2 million beneficiaries, including 270,000 couples, with an annual expenditure of around €11 billion.
The system, expected by the associations for years, will be launched in October 2023. “If we can go faster, we will go faster (…) it is not a question of personnel but of technicality and complexity of the information systems to cross “, justified the minister Olivier Dussopt.
