Who is entitled to this bonus?

Launched in 2016, the CAF activity bonus targets workers, including students and trainees earning at least 78% of the minimum wage. To qualify, you must be of legal age, reside in France on a stable basis and meet the income thresholds..

This aid is also accessible to foreigners residing in France under certain conditions, such as membership of the European Economic Area or regular stay in France for five years.

Since July, the “Net social amount” has appeared on pay slips, indicating the salary to be declared for the calculation of the RSA and the activity bonus. This line simplifies the income declaration for CAF aid requests and tax declarations.

The coming decline

The calculation of the activity bonus, previously determined by the CAF, will be impacted from 2024 by the social net amount. This change, influencing declared income, will lead to a drop in this aid. Elements such as pension contributions or employer contributions to holiday vouchers will be included, increasing the income declared.
