A financial boost for many recipients. The first part of the emergency measures on purchasing power was finally voted on Wednesday, August 3. It provides for a series of exceptional revaluations of 4%. In addition to the basic pension announced several months ago, this increase will also concern the active solidarity income (RSA), the activity bonus or family allowances. This measure is taken to enable these beneficiaries to cope with the continuous rise in prices.
The cost of this revaluation is estimated at 6.7 billion euros. The explanatory memorandum to the bill details all the benefits affected by this increase:

The hike is expected to take place on September 9. However, the increase being planned for the payments of benefits and social minima from July, when it will apply, it will be retroactive.
