All RSA beneficiaries will be registered with France Travail from January

With this change, 1.2 million additional people will be registered as job seekers.

The reform will come into force in January. All beneficiaries of Active Solidarity Income (RSA) will be registered with France Travail, compared to 40% today. They will have to sign an “engagement contract” specifying social and professional integration objectives. With this change, 1.2 million additional people will be registered as job seekers, including 200,000 young people in the integration process in the local missions of the departments.

These new job seekers will first be placed in a “waiting category” newly created, named G, the time to be distributed into categories A to F at the end of their orientation interview. Category F, also new, will be reserved for people “on a social integration journey”according to France Travail and the Ministries of Labor and Solidarity.

As part of their employment contract, RSA beneficiaries may be required to have 15 to 20 hours of weekly activities, including interviews, training, internships or immersions in a company. This contract will be personalized and “these 15 hours are not a condition for the granting of an allowance, it is an element within the employment contract co-constructed between the person and the referring organization”according to the same sources.

The “renovated support” for beneficiaries has already concerned more than 70,000 people in 49 departments in 2024. Some 54% of beneficiaries who benefited from reinforced support this year held a job at one point, half of whom were between them sustainable employment. An evaluation report on the experiment nevertheless notes that the objective of 15 to 20 hours of activity “stimulates reflections and debates among professionals and beneficiaries”. positive point, “the strengthening of self-confidence and the ability to act are very often observed” among recipients, specifies this report published by the Ministry of Labor.
