INFLATION HELP. The 2022 inflation bonus should be paid at the start of the school year by automatic transfer to the 9 million households concerned.
[Mis à jour le 28 juin 2022 à 09h14] Inflation bonus, food check… The government is still rather vague on the contours of the exceptional aid which should be allocated to the most deprived at the start of the 2022 school year. One thing is certain, the food check should be distributed to fall for 9 million homes! Will this aid replace the inflation bonus? Nothing is less sure. For now, this food check should amount to 100 euros plus 50 euros per dependent child. It could also concern young people aged 18 to 25 and students. An exceptional aid which should be formalized by the government in the days to come, in a rather unprecedented inflationary context (5.2% in May over one year).
It now remains to be seen how the group Ensemble! and Emmanuel Macron will be able to govern without an absolute majority, since the results of the last legislative elections. An alliance with Les Républicains is not to be excluded, although it is not unanimous within the right, in particular among the secretary general of the party, Aurélien Pradié, fiercely opposed to a coalition with the government in place. The formalization of this bonus with the announcement of the purchasing power bill was to take place on July 6, but this date could well be postponed. Several other measures announced such as the tripling of the Macron bonus, the abolition of the TV license fee or the extension of the tariff shield are also expected, but could fall through without a sufficient coalition for Together!. Regarding purchasing power, the rent control was announced by Prime Minister Bruno Le Maire this Monday, June 27, the increase in rents cannot exceed 3.5% in 2022.
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! Those concerned should therefore see a bank transfer appear on their account from September 2022.
The emergency aid desired by Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne aims to help “the most modest“. The terms are still vague, students, families with children, recipients of social minima… The project still needs to be refined, and the government should speak in the coming weeks, perhaps after the legislative elections. June 12 and 19.
Julien Denormandie, former Minister of Agriculture made it his priority when the food check was still relevant. Emmanuel Macron talks to him about “middle classes” et “lower classes“. Families with children and modest incomes could also find themselves in the sights.
To fight against the general increase in consumer prices, and in particular food prices, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced the creation of aid paid directly into the bank account of beneficiaries, from the start of the 2022 school year. information is not yet known, but the scheme could well resemble the old inflation bonus of 100 euros introduced by Emmanuel Macron.
The amount of this new Borne inflation bonus could reach 150 euros. The details are not yet clear, in particular concerning the potential start of the food check. Will the two devices be separate? Will the government give up the food check in favor of this new inflation bonus? Nothing is less certain, but the sum of 150 euros advanced by the executive seems for the time being to hold the rope.
The recomposition of the National Assembly could slightly delay the government’s intervention concerning the final details of the inflation bonus of 150 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 organizations paying the first inflation bonus distributed to 38 million French people at the start of the year, here is who from the Caf or Pôle Emploi, for example, will pay the new inflation bonus:
- Caf : recipients of social minima
- Employment center : jobseekers
- Officials : Etat
- Retired : CNAV
- Employees : employer
- Independents : Ursaf
