will the beneficiaries of the RSA have to work to receive it?

Working to receive the RSA, this is what some beneficiaries of Haut-Rhin experienced in 2016. The measure was deemed illegal by the Administrative Court and is no longer mandatory. Today 3% beneficiaries from the department have volunteered to continue. For Frederic beerrypresident of the European community of Alsace, this figure is insufficient. “That society helps them is important (…) but we also need them to get involved in order to be able to meet all of society’s needs.“, he defends.

Several presidential candidates want to force beneficiaries to give their time, Between 7 to 20 hours per week. “These remarks would imply that the beneficiaries of the RSA would receive this allowance but would not wish to get out of it.“, deplore Christophe Robert, Managing Director of the Abbé Pierre Foundation. In France, 1.9 million people could be affected.
