The 15 to 20 hours of compulsory integration activities per week for RSA beneficiaries will not be included in the bill reforming the system, but will be an objective “adapted” to each person, specified the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussop on Tuesday.
A benefit recipient who has taken up part-time work, we are not going to ask her to do 20 hours of integration in addition (…). A disabled beneficiary who spends time diagnosing her health problems to find out which positions she can occupy is back to work, returned within 15 to 20 hours, he cited as an example during a conference. Press.
These activities, which will be neither free work nor compulsory volunteering, will be defined in the contract of reciprocal commitments between the beneficiary and his adviser, a contract which has existed since the creation of the RMI in 1988, he said. underline
But, out of 1.950 million RSA beneficiaries, 350,000 have no social or socio-professional follow-up, he insisted. And seven years after their first registration, 42% of RSA beneficiaries are still there, it’s a collective failure.
What sins, it is the accompaniment. We are not left with our duty of solidarity when we have someone around 607 euros, he judged.
The reform of the RSA, which has begun to be tested in 18 departments, is part of the France Travail bill which will be presented in June to the Council of Ministers and reorganizes the public employment service.
To strengthen this support, there will be additional means, assured Olivier Dussopt, recalling that the High Commissioner for Employment Thibaut Guilluy had calculated between 2 and 2.5 billion euros in total until 2027 for the France Travail reform.
But this will also go through the redeployment of Ple emploi positions, the workforce of which has increased from 47,000 to 51,000 full-time equivalents (FTE) from 2017 to 2022, while the unemployment rate is now below its pre-crisis level. he reminder.
The bill also reforms the system of penalties for recipients who do not meet their obligations. Today there is pure and simple radiation, several tens of thousands of people a year. What we want to create (before this radiation: editor’s note) is a suspension which will always be decided by the president of the departmental council. It could last a day, a week… The advantage is that it is quick to implement and quickly reversible.
