It is from this Thursday, September 15, that the back-to-school bonus will be paid. Remember that this help is provided by the “purchasing power” law adopted this summer.
Some 10.8 million affected low-income households will be able to receive this exceptional aid of 100 euros, plus 50 euros per dependent child.
Beneficiaries of social minimums (such as the RSA or the subsidy for disabled adults) will be paid, as well as scholarship students, specified the Ministry of Solidarity.
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 exceptional back to school bonus has nothing to do with Back to School Allowance (ARS)paid in two stages in August and granted, subject to resources, to families with at least one school child between 6 and 18 years old.
“For households that do not benefit from the social minimum and receive the activity bonus (…) an exceptional and additional payment is planned for the fall,” the ministry added.
This boost, the amount of which will be specified later, will be added to the 4% increase in the activity bonus 1st of July
These measures are part of the “purchasing power” package adopted at the beginning of August by Parliament, with an initial expenditure of 20 billion euros (including, in particular, the 4% increase in retirement pensions and various allowances), then a revised budget for 2022 (PLFR) that opens 44,000 million euros in credits.
