10.8 million French people will receive a bonus of 100 euros

On Wednesday August 3, the second part of the law which relates to purchasing power was adopted in the National Assembly. Among others, po help households with the lowest incomes, a bonus of 100 euros will be paid in September. For students, for example, this additional sum is not negligible and can be used to buy food or supplies. Although the bonus is less substantial than the 150 euros envisaged in the first place, more people are eligible to receive it.

Many French people will be entitled to this bonus. It concerns all people who are beneficiaries of social minima. Workers who earn the activity bonus are also entitled to this aid, as are pensioners with a low pension. In total, 10.8 million households will get these 100 euros. This amount is not unanimous and some complain that this amount is considered too low. “It’s a bit tight for me“, reacts a woman. The state will have to pay 1 billion euros for this measure.
