Lecornu Sets December Bill to Create Single Social Benefit

Analysts warn the merger could lower incomes for many households if pursued at a constant budget.

Overview

  • The proposed allocation sociale unique would combine the prime d’activité, the RSA and certain housing aids into a single payment.
  • The prime minister said the aim is to generate management savings and simplify access rather than reduce support for beneficiaries.
  • The detailed design of eligibility rules and benefit levels remains undefined and will be determined during the legislative process.
  • The government will also seek to double the departments’ safeguard fund to €600 million in the 2026 budget.
  • Lecornu ordered the reopening of the Dilico file and outlined plans to overhaul regional health agencies by making prefects responsible for their sovereign functions.
