Each year, several million households benefit from energy checks to pay for their energy expenses. The majority of them have already received this boost. If you are eligible and have not yet received yours, there is still time to apply. But hurry, you only have until December 31, 2024 to take the step.
First of all, you can check your eligibility for this aid using a simulator. The 2024 Energy Check is allocated on the basis of the 2022 reference tax income (declared in 2023) and the composition of the household as of December 31, 2022. “The reference tax income (RFR) for the year 2022 per consumption unit (UC) annual household income must be less than 11,000 euros to benefit from the 2024 Energy Check”, we can read on the Agency's website services and payment.
Energy check: submit a request at the counter
To apply for an Energy Check, an online counter has been set up. It is intended for eligible people who did not receive a check in spring 2024 but also for those who received a check but saw their income change. In this case, the amount of the check may be reassessed on the basis of their 2022 income tax declared in 2023.
Users who are unable to send their request via this counter can contact User Assistance. The latter can be reached by completing this form or by telephone at 0 805 204 805 (free service and calls).
End of automatic sending of the energy check
As a reminder, the amount of the energy check varies between 48 and 277 euros. It is nominative and can be used until March 31, 2025. This aid can be used to pay your electricity or gas bills or for your energy renovation work.
Please note that from 2025, the energy check will no longer be sent automatically to beneficiaries. The abolition of the housing tax has in fact made the identification of eligible households more difficult. Households may have to send the identification number of their electricity meter to the administration.
