Inflation: amount, beneficiaries, date … all about the emergency aid promised by Elisabeth Borne this Tuesday

Elisabeth Borne announced on Tuesday June 7 that emergency aid would be paid at the start of the school year to the most modest households to fight against the general rise in prices. We take stock of the terms of this boost. Inflation is galloping and even reaching record levels. At the end of May, INSEE announced a rate of 5.2%, its highest level for thirty-seven years. The association 60 Millions de consommateurs has calculated that in total, inflation could lead to an average additional cost of 90 euros per month for households. Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne therefore announced, on Tuesday, June 7, the establishment of aid for the most modest households who are facing rising prices, in particular food. When will it be paid? “From the start of the school year”, announced Elisabeth Borne this Tuesday on France Bleu. To make it quick and simple, the aid will be “paid directly into the bank account, all at once”, she explained, “to enable everyone to cope with the increases in basic food products”, as pasta or oil. Who will be the beneficiaries? According to TF1 Info, the state services have not yet defined precisely which low-income households will benefit from the aid. The latter will take into account the income, but also the number of children in the household. If you are eligible, the aid will be paid directly to you, you will not have to take any action. How much will the boost be? The aid should be 100 or 150 euros according to France Info. Thereafter, a “reflection” will be launched on “a targeted device to allow all French people to access quality products, organic products”, added the Prime Minister. A “reflection” on the food check promised by the Head of State is also underway.
