Christmas Bonus Increase for Single-Parent Families: Eligibility and Process

2023-12-14 19:58:31

Each year, 2.3 million French people receive the Christmas bonus to cover end-of-year holiday expenses. This year, 660,000 single-parent families will receive an increase of around 35% of the initial amount, estimated at 152.45 euros. This bonus is paid automatically in mid-December. However, certain categories eligible for the increase will have to take steps beforehand.

The increased Christmas bonus primarily concerns single-parent families who benefit from RSA, ASS and AER. For families receiving the RSA, they will automatically receive the increase without having to take any additional steps with the CAF. However, single parents living with one or more children and receiving ASS and AER through Pôle Emploi will not receive it automatically.

These parents are or have been informed that they are eligible for the Christmas bonus. This notification will ask them to contact their advisor to obtain a certificate. They must return this certificate to Pôle Emploi to receive a supplement equivalent to 35% of the initial bonus. In addition to the sworn certificate, you must provide a certificate of payment from the CAF or the MSA, downloadable directly from the personal space on the CAF or Mutualité sociale agricole (MSA) website, at cases where the persons concerned receive family benefits.

You must also attach a copy of the family record book. The beneficiary has the choice of sending these documents electronically, by post or depositing them directly at the agency. Once these three documents are sent, the supplement could be delivered to the beneficiaries.

Christmas bonus: the amount of the increase depends on the composition of the household

Remember that this increase will be paid this December 15 and concerns single-parent families who live below the poverty line and benefit from social minimums. Certainly, the increase is up to 35%, but families will benefit from a supplement depending on the composition of their family. For example, a single person with a child would be entitled to 308.72 euros, or 80 euros more than the initial premium, specifies The echoes.

The increase will increase to 96 euros for a single-parent family receiving RSA with two children, for a total amount of 370.45 euros. For three children, the premium will increase to 452.78 euros, then 535.1 euros for four children. For those who receive ASS and AER, the increase will be as follows: an increase of 53 euros, with a single child, for a premium of a total amount of 205.81 euros, 232.49 euros for two children , an increase of 80 euros, 248.49 euros for three children and 269.84 euros for four children or more.
