watch out for fraud attempts!

The inflation compensation is automatic. Most often, if you are eligible, your employer, Urssaf or CAF will pay it to you automatically, if it has not already been done, without action on your part. Beware of phishing attempts: Urssaf, in particular, warns against malicious email campaigns, which invite you to enter your bank details to receive these 100 euros …

Scholarship students, employees of private employers, farmers, self-employed workers … Many French people eligible for inflation compensation have already received this transfer of 100 euros to their bank account. More precisely 2.6million people – out of the 38million beneficiaries, in total – touched it before Christmas according to information provided by Matignon BFMTV.

You earn less than 2000euros per month and you haven’t received anything yet? Do not panic. For employees in the private sector, for example, the payment must most often be made with the pay for the month of December, at the end of the month. For CAF beneficiaries, it will be from January 20. Or, for withdrawals, in February.
