This compensation, announced by Jean Castex at the end of October, should make it possible to relieve the finances of the French, whose portfolio is nibbled by the increase in prices affecting many sectors.This "check", the idea of which has been fueled by inflation that has touched fuel in recent months, should make it possible to relieve all of the most fragile households and not only motorists.Who is eligible?What are the conditions for affecting compensation?Le Figaro returns to the details known so far.

Who can affect this compensation?

Prime Minister Jean Castex said: "The only condition is a resource condition".Clearly, all employees, civil servants, retirees, craftsmen, self -employed, farmers, apprentices and job seekers earning less than 2000 euros net can receive the premium.Precarious part -time workers are also concerned, as are social minima beneficiaries.

Minor people belonging to these categories will also be able to receive the premium, for example in the case of a youngster of at least 16 years "in activity or registered in a process of training or support towards integration".

In total, "two thirds of French students" are eligible, according to Gabriel Attal, including "scholarship students and self -employment of their parents".Students benefiting from allowances are also concerned, as well as those working but affecting less than the ceiling of 2000 euros.

Please note: for a household, it is not the combined income of parents who import to determine the eligibility, but that of each individual.If a couple affects 3000 euros to two but 1,400 and 1600 euros separately, the two members will receive the premium of 100 euros.To determine the eligibility of an employee, the month which will be watched will be October: "It is the salary in force at the time of the measure," it said.

The government also specifies that people working in France but residing abroad are not eligible, unlike border workers residing in France.

A total of 38.2 million French people respect this resource condition and are eligible, calculates the government.In detail, according to Bercy, 11.1 million private employees are affected, half, 2000 euros being the "median salary", underlined Jean Castex.To this figure are added 2.3 million civil servants, 1.7 million self -employed, including farmers, 500,000 employees of individuals and 6 million unemployed.Or 21.6 million assets, to which are added 13 million retirees, holders of social minima and students.

How much is the compensation?

The compensation amounts to 100 euros.It is tax exempt, without load, and will only be paid once: it is therefore not monthly.

This amount is equivalent, according to the Prime Minister's entourage, to the additional cost generated by inflation for the household budget: it must cover, with 80 euros, the "average cost of a roller of 14,000 kilometers per year which undergoes the increaseFuels, ”said Matignon.The remaining 20 euros equivalent to "other inflationary effects", including those weighing on the food bill.

Do you have to have a vehicle to reach the compensation?

No, compensation is not linked to the possession or not of a vehicle.If this aid has been announced in a context of increase in fuel prices, it must support "the purchasing power of the French in the face of price increases" in general.

Will compensation be affected several times?

The premium can only be affected once per person, including if it meets several criteria, for example in the case of an individual exercising different professions but affecting, each time, less than 2000 euros net.

How will compensation be paid?

Anxious to avoid at all costs to create a "gas factory", the government wanted to make it simple: the payment will be "automatic", said Jean Castex.The entity paying the sum will be different depending on the situation of the individual concerned: they will thus be employers for employees, URSSAF for the self -employed, Pôle Emploi for job seekers, MSA for farmers,Crous for students, CAF for beneficiaries of social minima and pension funds for retirees.

Note, employers will not have the choice: they will have "the obligation, by law, to pay the aid", warned the entourage of the Prime Minister.They will be offset by a drop in social security contributions.The executive will introduce provisions in the connective budget for 2021, which must be presented on November 4 in the Council of Ministers, as well as in the social security budget.Regulatory provisions are also expected.

When will the compensation paid?

Again, it all depends on everyone's situation:

How much does this bonus cost public finances?

The state is getting hands again in the pocket, and should pay some 3.8 billion euros to finance this compensation in 2021 and 2022. A substantial sum, but which remains much less heavy than the cost of a drop inTaxes (VAT, TICPE) weighing on fuels: Bercy estimated that a drop of 20 cents would have cost some 10 billion euros.

The drop in taxes would not have been more effective in countering inflation, the government spokesperson on Friday 10 December.Likewise, specific fuel aid would have been "a gas factory", difficult to implement and little used, according to Gabriel Attal.

The government ensures that this new expenditure will not endanger the budgetary balance provided so far: part of the cost will be offset by the “additional VAT cost” generated by the price increase, said Jean Castex.The “surplus of tax revenue” released by the strong growth planned this year, as well as any efforts of the State will be used to pay the rest.There is "no exceeding of the fixed target" of a deficit at 5% of GDP in 2022, said Matignon.And no tax increase will finance the compensation, it is said.
