In France, the social assistance landscape is constantly evolving. Some new supports emerge, while others disappear, often in response to budgetary imperatives. Faced with a growing deficit, the government is forced to implement cost-saving measures, leading to revisions of existing systems.
In this context, there are more restrictions or disappearance of certain benefits, rather than the introduction of new ones. Two aids, particularly interesting for households, will soon disappear. However, some have until February 14, 2025 to benefit from it.
Devices in constant evolution
In France, the aid system is based on a key principle: national solidarity. Designed to reduce inequalities, this aid plays a decisive role, particularly for households with modest incomes. Whether it's investing in a project or facing a heavy expense, they offer a real financial boost.
Thanks to this support, many households dare to take the plunge. Indeed, social assistance helps limit risks and facilitates access to otherwise inaccessible opportunities.

But the aid does not remain static. They are constantly evolving to adapt to new needs and economic constraints. Thus, certain services appear, while others gradually fade away.
Two little-known, but valuable, aids
In recent years, two financial aid measures have emerged to encourage more ecological modes of transport. It's Ecological bonus and the Conversion bonus what it is. Less publicized than the RSA or family allowances, they nevertheless play a key role in the transition to sustainable mobility.
The ecological bonus is aimed at households wishing to equip themselves with a bicyclewhether classic, electric or adapted to a disability. Its amount depends on the applicant's situation, but it can cover up to 40% of the purchase price.
For example, aid reaches 150 euros for a classic bike, 400 euros for an electric model. She goes up to 2,000 euros for a bicycle adapted for people with disabilities.
For its part, the Conversion Bonus complements the Ecological Bonus. It is aimed at those who replace an old vehicle with a bicycle, with or without electrical assistance. Depending on the model and the resources of the beneficiary, its amount may climb up to 3,000 euros.
