According to TF1 Info, the Minister of Solidarity, Paul Christophe, has decided not to grant an end-of-year bonus to families made up of a single parent. A strong choice in a context of budgetary savings.
On December 13, the Christmas bonus will be paid to nearly two million households. This aid, intended for the poorest French people, will also concern single-parent families. But this winter, there will be no bonus bonus. According to TF1 Info, the office of the Minister of Solidarity, Paul Christophe, has chosen not to renew the measure taken by the former government last year.
The ministry confirms the elimination of this bonus in a context of necessary savings: “The single-parent family bonus was a budgetary effort last year as part of an agreement with Parliament”. Thus, single-parent families, whose parent already receives the specific solidarity allowance (ASS) or the retirement equivalent allowance (AER), will continue to benefit from the basic premium set at 152.45 euros, but without any additional premium.
A cost of 70 million euros for the State
In 2023, the bonus allowed parents with only one child to receive 205.81 euros (instead of 152.45). A progressive amount depending on the number of children: 232.49 euros for two children, 248.49 euros for three children, 269.84 euros for four children, then 21.34 euros per additional child. The measure then cost the State 70 million euros.
As for households receiving the RSA, the Christmas bonus is maintained. The latter varies according to family composition and is paid by the Family Allowance Fund (CAF) or the Mutualité Sociale Agricole (MSA) for those dependent on this scheme. Single-parent families and others can benefit from this boost without distinction.
