Abolition of the specific solidarity allowance: but what is it?. This is a measure announced by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, to fight against "inactivity traps" : the abolition of the ASS (specific solidarity allowance).
It concerns around 25,000 beneficiaries, who will now switch to RSA. The measure clearly targets seniors who are looking for work. Most of these are long-term job seekers (at least 3 years) aged 50 or over. The transition to RSA will cost approximately as much as paying the allowance, i.e. around 1.5 billion euros per year.
