The month of July 2024 brings many changes for the French. Gas prices will increase and the complaints counter for the energy check opens. In addition, a new decree concerning the reform of unemployment insurance is published. It is crucial to know the changes effective from July 1, 2024.
Changes as of July 1, 2024
After an increase in gas prices in May, a further increase is planned for July 1, 2024. All suppliers will apply a increase of 5.5% for households using gas for heating. In fact, the increase will be 10,4 %, according to the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE). The reference price for gas will be around 13 euro cents per kWh.

The changes of July 1, 2024 also include the opening of the claims desk for households that have not received their 2024 energy check. A decree published on June 20 in the Official Journal indicates that this platform will remain available until December 31, 2024. The households concerned will therefore have until the end of the year to claim this financial aid. These changes show the importance of staying informed to better manage energy expenses and benefit from available aid.
Impact of the abolition of the housing tax
The removal of the housing tax resulted in the loss of data for many households eligible for the energy check. This situation had significant consequences. The changes on July 1, 2024 include measures to rectify this situation.

The government announced the opening of a complaints window for these affected households. This concerns households who have not received their 2024 energy check. The families concerned will have the opportunity to assert their rights and receive this essential financial assistance. This new device aims to compensate for data errors.

New unemployment insurance reform
Each year, the general directorate of public finances reimburses overpayments for households subject to withholding tax during the summer. This year, the DGFiP will make two payments for these reimbursements. Indeed, the first will take place on Wednesday July 24 and the second on Wednesday July 31. What changes on July 1, 2024 also concerns modifications concerning the system MaPrimeRenov’.
From this date, the “Guided Journey” will be open to all landlords. This extension will allow a greater number of people to benefit from this support in their energy renovation work. These changes aim to encourage more renovations to improve the energy efficiency of homes.
Other changes
In addition to MaPrimeRénov’, the energy performance diagnosis (DPE) will undergo significant changes starting next month. The thresholds of its labels will be adjusted to improve the classification of real estate. This approach aims to remove certain housing from the category of “thermal sieves”.
Homeowners will have an added incentive to improve the energy efficiency of their properties. The changes on July 1, 2024 are not limited to these adjustments. Indeed, a decree will also be published to enact the new unemployment insurance reform. This reform is eagerly awaited by many workers and employers. These measures are part of the government’s efforts to adapt the labor market to current economic realities and to offer better social protection.
