This assistance is always eagerly awaited by households who can benefit from this welcome boost at the end of the year. And we still know a little more about the contours of the 2023 Christmas bonus. Established 25 years ago, it will indeed be back this year.
According to information on the site thank you for the infothe date of payment to eligible households by the family allowance funds (CAF), the Mutualité sociale agricole (MSA) or even by Ple emploi has been fixed.
The payment of the Christmas bonus is planned Friday December 15 confirmed the cabinet of Aurore Berg, the minister in charge of Solidarity and Families.
An additional delay
But be careful, a payment initiated on December 15 does not necessarily mean that the Christmas bonus will be available the same day in the beneficiaries’ bank account. Indeed, due to interbank delays, you will sometimes have to wait a few days before receiving the premium.
Created by the government of Lionel Jospin in 1998, the Christmas bonus is automatically paid to beneficiaries of certain social minimums: active solidarity income (RSA), specific solidarity allowance (ASS) and retirement equivalent allowance (AER).

Up to 200 euros bonus for certain beneficiaries
As for RSA beneficiaries, the amount of this Christmas bonus, unchanged since its creation, will be 152.45 euros for a single person, 228.67 euros for a household of two people (couple without children, single adult with a child) and 274.41 euros for three people (couple with one child, single adult with two children).
