You still have time to apply for your fuel and wood check. The government is extending the deadlines for taking advantage of this heating aid.
No one is unaware that times are tough for many French people. Citizens across the country are facing an exponential rise in inflation, eroding their already sluggish purchasing power. Difficult even for many to cope with daily expenses, the rise in prices affecting all sectors, including food. But it’s the price of energy which is particularly heavy for most households. It is therefore important to know the measures put in place by the government and know what you are entitled to.
To relieve the French, the former Macron bonus, the purchasing power bonus, was renewed in 2023. A repair bonus for your household appliances can also be requested. You can also anticipate the end of gas regulations next July now to avoid unpleasant surprises. And regarding your heating, aid will be extended.

Wood and fuel cheque: how to apply?
This Thursday, March 30, the Minister for Energy Transition Agnès Pannier-Runacher spoke to South Radio aid for the most precarious households concerning fuel, fuel oil, energy or wood: “all the French people who were entitled to it were not able to benefit from it”.
To increase their number, the government has decided to extend the fuel oil check and the wood check. If you heat yourself with oil, you will therefore have precisely until the end of April to request your check. The latter can amount to an amount between 100 and 200 euros. An estimated 1.6 million people are potentially affected.
As for wood heating, you will have until the end of May to make your request. The wood check is between 50 and 200 euros. This varies depending on your situation. Agnès Pannier-Runacher estimated the possible beneficiaries at 2.6 million people.
She explains the difference between these aids and the energy check: “Where the energy check is a check that arrives automatically on the basis of the tax declaration for the French, the wood check and the fuel check, it is necessary to make the request”.
A site has been specially set up for these exceptional energy, wood and fuel checks. Meeting on chequeboisfioul.asp-public.fr You now know the deadlines to take advantage of it.
