CAF: The procedures for allocating social assistance

In France, there are two allocation methods of social assistance. Either help is paid automatically , or you have to apply for it. The first does not require any action from the service provider.

The conditions for granting and amount of the RSA

The RSA or active solidarity income is an aid paid for low-income households to ensure a minimum level of income. This aid is part of several aids paid by CAF each month. The amount of this aid varies according to the composition of the family. Here's how it went:

• 564.78 euros for a single person
• 966.99 euros for a single parent with a dependent child
• 1,186.04 euros for a couple with two dependent children

In this difficult time, this sum is non-negotiable to make ends meet s. Does this concern you? To qualify for the RSA, you must meet the following conditions:

• Be at least 25 years old,
• Reside in France in a stable and effective manner,
• Being French
• Have modest resources

In addition to that, a new condition is coming for this year 2023 , to collect the RSA. It should be noted that this new condition does not change the amount of aid.

RSA: should we work or not?

Many people wonder whether or not you have to work to benefit from the RSA paid by CAF. The answer is yes. The new condition that has earned the name 'RSA conditional' is the completion of certain hours of professional activity. The real reason for RSA is to allow the modest household to get back to work . The Next plz news site stated:

“These aids must above all be seen as a means of getting back on their feet and gaining access to employment”.

This new condition is put in place for avoid state aid fraud . Some beneficiaries hide their activity to continue to receive the RSA. An employee of an allowance fund in Languedoc-Roussillon at the microphone of LCI said:

“The majority are not looking for work. With the RSA and what they have on the black side, they are not going to work 35 hours for €1,200”.

Precisely, to overcome this, the new condition for to receive RSA is to work 15 and 20 hours per week . It is a way to guarantee access and return to employment.

Several departments are already testing for the application of this new condition. Soon, this will apply throughout France .
