EXCEPTIONAL BACK-TO-SCHOOL BONUS. The second payment of the inflation bonus scheduled for mid-November 2022 should only concern beneficiaries of the activity bonus.

[Updated 08:14 21 Sep 2022] Who is affected by the second inflation bonus installment scheduled for mid-November? First of all, this payment will be made by the family allowance fund (CAF). In reality, only the beneficiaries of the activity bonus will be entitled to it, they are the last not to have benefited from this exceptional back-to-school bonus, introduced within the framework of the purchasing power law, in the face of the increase in the inflation (5.8% in August over one year), to relieve the most modest households. This premium of 100 euros plus 50 euros per additional dependent child will not, however, have the same terms for this second payment. Beneficiaries of the activity bonus will receive an automatic transfer of 28 euros plus 14 euros per dependent child. No action on your part is expected, the payment should be made around November 15, 2022.

Also, we strongly advise you to check the conditions of access to the bonus if any doubt still remains. You must absolutely be a beneficiary of social minima such as the RSA or the APL (full list below) or be a scholarship student. Outside of these criteria, you will not be entitled to the inflation bonus. We invite you to contact the organization concerned for more information. They will be able to inform you and regularize your situation if a problem has arisen. Remember that it is possible that your bank has quite long processing times for banking transactions, or that it may encounter unforeseen difficulties. In this case, the transfer should arrive this week, still a little patience.

Who is eligible for the new inflation inflation bonus? Terms

The emergency aid desired by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne aims to help “the most modest”. Beneficiaries of certain social benefits such as APL, RSA, AAH or Aspa will benefit from them from the start of the 2022 school year. ALF and ALF recipients are also concerned. In reality, it is the poorest French people who will be able to take advantage of this new inflation bonus or food emergency bonus at the start of the 2022 school year, i.e. 14 million people. This exceptional back-to-school aid will also benefit scholarship students and ASS beneficiaries.

The new aid to fight against inflation and supposed to strengthen the purchasing power of the French desired by Elisabeth Borne will be paid directly into the bank account of the beneficiaries, from the start of the 2022 school year! The 10.8 million affected households should see a bank transfer from September 2022. Now, the exact date has been set by the executive: the payment will take place on September 15, 2022. On the other hand, for beneficiaries of the activity bonus, the payment will not take place until two months later, in November.

The amount of this new Borne inflation bonus will reach 100 euros plus 50 euros per additional dependent child. “In concrete terms, the aid will amount to 200 euros for a household with two children” indicates the executive in his press kit.

The recomposition of the National Assembly could slightly delay the government’s intervention concerning the final details of the inflation bonus of 100 euros paid in the fall of 2022. In particular concerning the paying bodies. For the time being, we do not know who pays the inflation bonus according to the status of the beneficiaries. Referring to the paying agencies for the first inflation bonus distributed to 38 million French people at the start of the year, here is who from Caf or Pôle Emploi, for example, will pay the new inflation bonus. For now, no decision has been made:

Recipients of the active solidarity income (RSA) will indeed receive the inflation bonus in the amount of 100 euros, the payment of which is scheduled for September 15, 2022. Recipients of the RSA will also receive the increase in their allowance of 4% linked to the implementation of the purchasing power law.
