It will be paid “automatically”
To collect this compensation, theThe French people concerned will not have “nothing to do” because it will be “Automatique”, promised Jean Castex. There should therefore be no action to take. “For the employees, it will not pass their company. For the farmers by the MSA, for the self-employed by the Urssaf”, listed the Prime Minister. THEhe compensation will be individualized and not per household: in other words, if a couple each earns less than 2,000 euros net, they will be entitled to 100 euros each.
It will be paid from December
Jean Castex has promised that it will be implemented “as quickly as possible”, and even “from December for the most part” the French. The first to touch it will be those who work: this threshold of 2,000 euros makes it possible to include half of the employees (including public officials) and the self-employed but also people looking for a job.
ENext, the 13 million retirees will be concerned whose pension level places them a little below 2,000 euros net (exactly 1,943 euros which is also the threshold for the reduced rate CSG). And finally, people in a precarious situation who benefit, for example, from the RSA or the AAH.
