The minimum amount of 152.45 euros will be paid on December 17

The date of receipt of the Christmas bonus is now known. This exceptional end-of-year bonus, the minimum amount of which has been set in 2024 at 152.45 euros, will be paid to beneficiaries of minimum social benefits on December 17, the government announced on Tuesday.

“All beneficiaries of the active solidarity income (RSA), the specific solidarity allowance (ASS), the flat-rate bonus for resumption of activity and the retirement equivalent allowance (AER) will benefit. It will be paid automatically on December 17, 2024, the week before the Christmas holidays,” detailed the Ministries of Solidarity, Autonomy and Equality between Women and Men, that of Labor and Employment and their counterpart in charge of the Budget and Public Accounts.

A bonus not indexed to inflation

It is allocated to more than 2.2 million households. Not indexed to inflation, its amount, 152.45 euros, will remain the same as in 2023 for a single person in mainland France and in the overseas departments, excluding Mayotte.

The amounts of the premium for households receiving RSA are progressive depending on the composition of the family, for example a couple with two children will receive 320.15 euros.
