Unions are calling for an increase in the aid paid at the end of each year by the CAF. An increase would be a good surprise for many French people, while the amount of this Christmas bonus has not changed for 20 years.
How much for the Christmas bonus 2022? The question arises, while 2.3 million households, beneficiaries of social minima, could benefit as every year from this aid from the Family Allowance Fund (CAF). To receive this bonus, you must be a beneficiary of the RSA (solidarity income), the Specific Solidarity Allowance (ASS) or the AER, for example.
For the moment, the government has not indicated whether the bonus will be distributed this year but it seems very likely that this boost will be renewed in 2022 in view of the economic situation marked by a sharp rise in prices. Whereas its amount of 152.45 euros (for a single person) has not changed since 2009, would a good surprise be on the agenda? According to the website thank you for the information, two union representatives, the CGT and the CFDT are campaigning to see the bonus increase.
A 500 euros bonus for all people deprived of employment?
Thus, on the side of the CGT, we are asking for a revaluation of 500 euros and its payment to all people deprived of employment, as explained by the Secretary General of the National Committee of Deprived and Precarious Workers (CNTPEP), Pierre Garnodier . The latter thus recalls that the Christmas bonus is a partial response to the mobilization of the unemployed in 1997-1998 which demanded a real 13th month for all those deprived of employment. The trade unionist also asks for the extension of the device, considering that it is abnormal that a person who receives unemployment benefits from Ple emploi but who does not touch the RSA does not have the right to this bonus from the CAF.

For its part, if the CFDT does not give a precise figure on what the Christmas bonus should be, it still estimates with the site thank you for the information that it would be logical that the Christmas bonus or revalued taking into account the level of inflation. It must be said that the latter rose in October +6.2% over one year, according to provisional figures from the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (Insee) released last week.
