100 euros net of tax: this is the amount of the inflation bonus intended for 38 million individuals who receive less than 2000 euros in net monthly income. Most of the beneficiaries have received it. Withdrawals are last on the list to have to hit it. The National Old Age Insurance Fund (Cnav) explained to MoneyVox that the transfer will be visible on the accounts for withdrawals from the general scheme on February 28 at the latest. But for others, you will have to wait a little longer. 100,000 withdrawals that affect only one survivor’s pension Agirc-Arrco, without any other pension, professional or social income, are concerned. The bonus will be paid into their bank account on February 28. Depending on the deadlines for receiving the transfer, they will have to wait up to 5 days before the 100 euros are available.

The payment of alimony facilitates
About a million families are entitled to alimony for an average amount of 170 euros per month. But this is totally or partially unpaid in almost a third of cases. For many single-parent families of mothers in the overwhelming majority of cases the delay in the payment of alimony is a source of conflict in the ex-couple and of aggravation of precariousness and poverty for the mother with her children. , explained in October 2020 Olivier Vran, the Minister of Solidarity during the launch by the family allowance funds of a new public alimony service. The latter can now act as an intermediary between the two parents, so that the alimony is systematically passed through him, and avoid ultimately the arrears. Financial intermediation also aims to ease tensions related to financial issues between separated parents, so that they can focus on the education and development of their child(ren), explains the Minister of Solidarity .

New tobacco prices
10 euros for a pack of 20 cigarettes, this is the average price that must be paid today at a tobacconist. For several years, the government has raised tobacco taxes to reduce the number of smokers.

Thus, the pack of Maya Green Spirit, in 20 units, increases by 10 cents 9.8 euros. Ditto for the Maya Green 100% Tobacco Paper filter, the Maya Spirit 100% Tobacco Paper Filter or the Maya Green Spirit Paper Filter. As for cigars or cigarillos, we should point out an increase in 50 cents for the Davidoff Aniversario Double R in 25 cigars that pass 40 euros. The price of certain rolling tobaccos is falling, such as the News Special cut L (pouch), in 55 grams, which is 25.2 euros or 10 cents less.
