Normally, the official date is December 15, but this year, the 15th falls on a Sunday.

In addition, the future payment of the bonus will be visible on your CAF space a little later too, CNews learned. The Family Allowance Fund specifies that “the payment of the Christmas bonus will only be visible on your CAF account a few days before payment, or even the day before December 17, 2024”. As a reminder, you do not have to take any action to receive it: this aid is paid according to the income conditions.

A couple without children will receive 228.68 euros, while a couple with four children will receive 442.11 euros.

To receive it, you must already be a recipient of the retirement equivalent allowance. (AER)active solidarity income (RSA) or the specific solidarity allowance (ASS). Beneficiaries of the remuneration of trainees from professional training/public internship remuneration (RSFP/RPS), the fixed bonus for resumption of activity and the remuneration of Pôle emploi training (RFPE) can also receive it.
