French Government Confirms December 17 Payment Date for Annual Holiday Bonus

The 2024 'prime de Noël' will provide financial aid to 2.2 million low-income households, with amounts unchanged from last year.

The 'prime de Noël,' an annual holiday bonus for low-income households, will be distributed on December 17, 2024, two days later than initially planned.
Eligible recipients include those receiving the RSA, ASS, AER, or other specific social benefits, with no application required for payment.
The minimum amount of the bonus is €152.45 for a single individual, with amounts increasing based on household composition, such as €320.15 for a couple with two children.
The bonus amounts are not adjusted for inflation and remain the same as in 2023, reflecting the government's cost-saving measures.
A proposed 35% additional bonus for single-parent families will not be implemented this year due to budgetary constraints.
