Every year, the Christmas bonus is paid to certain French people, and 2024 is no exception. However, the news regarding this payment is far from encouraging, which risks displeasing beneficiaries, particularly single-parent families.
Christmas bonus: exceptional help!
In France, the government has put in place several incentives to help people with modest incomes who find themselves in precarious situations.
And the more time passes, the more the number of social assistance increases. Among the most requested, we can notably cite the active solidarity income (RSA) as well as the activity bonus.
Help for people with disabilities can be found also in high demand, allowing them to meet their needs in these difficult times.

Christmas bonus: conditions, amount, payment date… everything you need to know about this aid
In addition, there is also other assistance that the government pays at the end of each year. It is about the Christmas bonuswhich has existed in France since 1998.
Obviously, to benefit from it, you will have to meet certain conditions. Note that the Christmas bonus is not for everyone. Only RSA beneficiaries can benefit from it.
People benefiting from the retirement equivalent allowance (AER) and the specific solidarity allowance (ASS) can also benefit from it, through France Travail.
Bad news about the Christmas bonus!
For 2024, the payment of the Christmas bonus will take place next December 13as announced by Paul Christophe, Minister of Solidarity, Autonomy and Equality. “ Beneficiaries will see it appear in their bank account between December 14 and 16 “. Enough to relieve the beneficiaries… well not really.
Of course, the beneficiaries are delighted that this aid is being renewed, but this news risks disappointing them.

Good news, the Christmas bonus is coming: the scheduled payment date
Indeed, as the site stated MoneyVoxthe amount of this boost is ultimately not indexed to inflation. Which means it will always remain the same as the previous year.
Thus, for RSA beneficiaries, the amount received for a single person remains at 152,45 euros. For a household of two people, the amount amounts to 228,67 euros. Then at 274,41 euros for a couple, with a child.
On the other hand, the amount of the Christmas bonus is flat rate for those who benefit from ASS or AER. It is set at 152,45 eurosregardless of the number of people constituting the household.
What about single-parent families?
As you will have understood, there will be no increase in the Christmas bonus this year. The amount for a single person should have amounted to 229 euros if the government had indexed inflation. Alas, this is not the case!
In addition, another news concerning the Christmas bonus risks disappointing, especially single-parent families. As a reminder, in 2023, the government decided to increase this aid by 35% for 744,000 households.
“A single person receiving RSA with 4 children thus received 535.10 euros, compared to 442.11 euros for a couple with 4 children. »
However, according to MoneyVoxthis increase in the Christmas bonus was temporary. This year, the cabinet of the Ministry of Solidarity has no intention of repeating this gesturewhich will not fail to displease those concerned.
