If you heat your home with oil, you can test your eligibility on a dedicated site to benefit from state aid of 200 euros. 1.6 million households are affected.
This is welcome help in the face of soaring energy prices. Since last November 8, 1.6 million households can benefit from a fuel-oil energy check in the amount of 200 euros. According to government figures, 200,000 households have therefore been granted this aid directly. These are households that are among the nearly 6 million beneficiaries of the energy check distributed in springtime, and who have already used it with a seller of domestic fuel.
For the others, a request portal ddi has been put online. In addition to these tax data, you will have to send an invoice in your name justifying the supply of fuel oil, via this website. The amount of the specific fuel oil check will be of 200 euros for households already benefiting from the energy check and whose reference tax income per consumption unit (RFR/UC) is less than 10,800 euros. A help from 100 euros those whose RFR/UC is greater than or equal to 10,800 euros and strictly less than 20,000 euros will be sent.
A mistake not to make
Attention, a mistake could deprive you of this boost because the fuel oil check will be sent to the address retained by the General Directorate of Public Finance on March 31, 2022. So, if you have moved since April 1 or if you have notified your change of address to the tax authorities after this date, you must contact this free number as soon as possible: 0805204805.
As to to households that depend on a collective heating installation oil, you will have to download a certificate, complete it and submit the scanned document on this same dedicated platform. At the end of this online procedure, the aid will be paid to you the following month.

This check for 200 euros cannot be used for invoices already paid this year to fuel oil suppliers. On the other hand, if you have not filled your tank with fuel oil in the short term, it can be used to pay another energy bill, regardless of the supplier and therefore the type of energy, or for energy renovation work.
To note that this special fuel oil energy check can be combined not only with the exceptional energy check of 100,200 euros scheduled for December, but also with the usual energy check towards each year in the spring.
