The different aids for seniors

Even as inflation lowers the purchasing power of the French, a recent study by the DREES (the direction of research, studies, evaluation and statistics), underlines that 321,200 elderly people do not receive the ex-minimum old age when they are entitled to it. The “minimum old age”, the Solidarity allowance for the elderly or the ASPA today, is an aid that is far too little known in France.

The Department of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics noted in a recent study that approximately 50% of eligible retirees would not request it. This is a shortfall of 205 euros per month, on average, for the people concerned. So, how can you benefit from it, and above all how can you identify the help you may need?

16% of eligible people who are aware of existing aid decide to give it up because of the cumbersome administrative procedures. Are you retired? Your pension fund ((CNAV, CARSAT, CGSS, CSS, MSA) can help you, especially if you cannot benefit from the APA (personal autonomy allowance).

Aids to cope with difficulties in daily life

If you need help at home: shopping, household help, meal delivery, or if you do not feel safe at home, need remote assistance, to arrange your accommodation, if you need assistance after hospitalization, if you have just moved or your caregiver is going on vacation or is hospitalized, your pension funds can inform you and help you.

Pension funds can help you finance a move or accompany you in the administrative procedures related to the move. If you are going to live in a suitable place, they can also accompany you.

To find out which pension fund you depend on: the retirement info site, the Pension Insurance site, the Mutualité sociale agricole (MSA) site, the AGIRC ARRCO supplementary scheme site and IRCANTEC.
