In these times of great economic crisis, can you still afford to neglect help? However, this is what many French people do. Households do without an allowance that could improve their daily lives. So why doesn't this compensation affect more people? Here are some explanations on this aid of €635.
Eligibility conditions for the famous allowance
Many French people experiencing poverty could see their lives change thanks to the RSA (Active Solidarity Income). This allowance brings in approximately €635. The first condition to be met is to be at least 25 ans for residents of French territory.
Speaking of territory, know that you must be well established in France. In other words, you must have lived there for at least 9 months of the year without interruption. Those who do not meet this criterion benefit from other allowances, but not from the RSA.
The income constitutes another sine qua non criterion for receiving this allowance. In fact, the amount of aid depends on your financial situation as well as that of your household in general. This is therefore a point to take into account if you wish to receive this financial assistance.

Normally, students, pupils and trainees are not entitled to RSA. However, if you are a young single parent, you can benefit from this allowance. Contact the CAF to find out all the aid you can obtain.
Why do so few households benefit from the RSA?
Thus, many needy people still go without help which they should not neglect. 36% of households who should receive the RSA do not submit an application file. Since 2010, this figure has increased to 46% according to Secours Catholique. Still according to the association, by not benefiting from this allowance, these people survive below the threshold of extreme poverty.
In this context, Secours Catholique itself looked into the question of why people hesitate to take advantage of the RSA. You should know that this allowance amounted to €607.75 a short time ago. Since then, she has moved to 635,71€. Households in precarious situations should therefore rush to benefit from it.
Daniel Verger provided the answer. This head of the department of dignified access to income, work and social benefits discusses the difficulty in submitting a file. Many steps have been digitized. However, this creates a blockage among households who are not used to online services.
Simple steps to receive the allowance
Verger also notes that distance from public services also constitute a barrier. Those who aspire to the allowance cannot turn to any entity if they have questions regarding the RSA.
