RSA 2023: the departments that will experiment with the new system

The RSA 2023, or RSA under conditions, is coming soon. What are the 19 departments that will test the novelty?

The active solidarity income (RSA) is a benefit that guarantees a minimum amount of resources to people without work. For several months, the French government has been trying to make changes to this help. A device that Emmanuel Macron mentioned during his presidential campaign. Indeed, these amendments seek to facilitate and promote professional integration. Thus, they launched an alert for departments to present their candidacies. And this, for an experiment of a novelty: the RSA under conditions. Thus, the RSA 2023 will be implemented from next year. For the 19 departments chosen , that means that the beneficiaries of this aid they will have to perform 15 to 20 hours of compulsory work against payment of the RSA . We'll explaine everything here !

The 19 departments eligible for RSA 2023

The RSA 2023, or RSA under conditions, aims to promote the professional integration of beneficiaries. Indeed, the payment will no longer be made automatically. The beneficiaries will then have to perform 15 to 20 hours of work per week in order to claim it. It should therefore be noted that in 2023, the government intends to test this system in certain French departments. For the experiment, 19 departments were selected. And this, to test renewed support for RSA recipients. And this, as recently announced by the Ministry of Labour, Full Employment and Integration in a press release. A great novelty for the RSA 2023.

Among the selected departments, it should be noted that not all beneficiaries will have to make this exchange for a professional activity. Indeed, the government still tries to offer this device on a voluntary basis. The 19 departments selected for the RSA 2023 are: Aisne, Aveyron, Bouches-du-Rhône, Côte-d'Or, Creuse, Eure, Ille-et-Vilaine, and Loire -Atlantic. As well as Loiret, Mayenne, Lyon Metropolis, the North, and Pyrénées-Atlantique. And finally, Reunion, Seine-Saint-Denis, Somme, Vosges, Yonne, and Yvelines. Many departments that have proposed their candidacy for this experiment were therefore not chosen.

A new experiment: the RSA 2023

In a statement published recently, the services of the Ministry of Labor therefore gave more details on their choice of selected departments. « All of these departments reflect full diversity geographically, demographically and socially. '. So, for the moment, this new RSA 2023 just wants to test this device of the RSA against compulsory work. Once the experiment is over, other departments will no doubt be able to apply for this system. The finalization of the specifications for this new RSA will therefore be carried out during this test period.

It should be noted that at the moment there are few details on the RSA 2023, or the RSA with conditions. What we know remains that this device was desired by Emmanuel Macron during his presidential campaign in 2022. But also that it aims to condition the RSA to “ the obligation to devote 15 to 20 hours per week to an activity facilitating professional integration, for a better balance of rights and duties '. Thus, the active solidarity income will no longer be part of the aid paid to French people who do not carry out a professional activity.

Forty-three departments wanted to participate

You should know that at the time of his presidential campaign, Emmanuel Macron explained his motivation in this device , RSA 2023. According to him, it is necessary a subsistence income for everyone, but we must be able to better support each and everyone, recognize their dignity, and ask them to share in their duty for all those who can ». Cela pur but de promote an exchange . And this, between professional integration and the payment of the RSA. The 19 departments chosen will therefore be able to fully test this novelty.

However, there is still a lack of information about the RSA 2023 . When in doubt, forty-three departments had expressed their wish to become test departments. Indeed, the latter had until October 21 to submit their application to the Ministry of Labour. Then, the choice of the 19 departments which will carry out this test was made in the same ministry.
