The Christmas bonus is coming soon! But unlike other years, it won't fall on December 15th. The calendar is playing spoilsport: since the 15th falls on a Sunday, the payment is postponed to Monday, December 17, 2024. A small peculiarity that shouldn't disturb beneficiaries too much, even if the visibility of the amount on the CAF space will have to wait until the last minute. Indeed, the amount will only appear on your account a few days before the payment, or even the day before the big day.
Don't panic though: no steps need to be taken. Payment is automatic for all beneficiaries. A godsend in this period when administrative procedures often accumulate.
The Christmas bonus is a bit like Santa Claus: it doesn't forget anyone, but it doesn't give the same gifts to everyone. The amounts vary considerably depending on the composition of the household.
For a single person, the basic amount is 152.45 euros.Couples will receive exactly 228.68 euros. Since Christmas is primarily a family celebration, large families are the best off: a single-parent family with four children can receive up to 535.10 euros, while a couple in the same situation will receive 442.11 euros.
200% Deposit Bonus up to €3,000 180% First Deposit Bonus up to $20,000And that's not all! For each additional child, the bank account is rewarded with a bonus: 82.32 euros for single parents and 60.98 euros for couples. Something to butter the spinach during the holidays.
Be careful, this bonus is not a gift distributed to all French people. It is reserved for recipients of certain very specific allowances. This concerns recipients of RSA, ASS (Specific Solidarity Allowance), AER (Retirement Equivalent Allowance), but also people receiving the remuneration of professional training interns or the flat-rate bonus for resuming activity.
On the other hand, no double gift possible: recipients of AAH or the Activity Bonus will have to give up this exceptional aid. Another important point: if you start receiving your benefits in December 2024, you will have to wait until January 2025 to receive your Christmas bonus.
France Travail (formerly Pôle emploi), the CAF and the MSA will be responsible for distributing this long-awaited aid, which for many represents a real breath of fresh air during this period when expenses are piling up.
