A "boost" for the most modest to enjoy the holidays.
A Christmas bonus of 152.45 euros, an amount unchanged for 13 years, will be paid on December 15 to "2.3 million low-income households", the Ministry of Solidarity said on Friday.
A premium paid automatically, without the beneficiaries having to take any steps.
Set up by the government of Lionel Jospin in 1998, this aid is granted to beneficiaries of certain social minima, such as the active solidarity income (RSA), the specific solidarity allowance (ASS) and the pension equivalent allowance (AER ), the ministry said in a statement.
A variable amount for RSA beneficiaries
Its amount will be fixed for the beneficiaries of the ASS and the AER, while it will vary according to the composition of the households for the beneficiaries of the RSA.
As since 2009, the amount of this Christmas bonus will be 152.45 euros for a single person, 228.67 euros for a two-person household (couple without children, single adult with a child) and 274.41 euros for three people (couple with one child, single adult with two children).
This system is in addition to the exceptional solidarity aid of 100 euros, plus 50 euros per dependent child, paid in September to beneficiaries of social minima.
