Overview
- About ten associations, including Secours Catholique, Emmaüs France and ATD Quart Monde, joined by unions such as CGT, Solidaires and FSU, have filed actions against the measure.
- The case features four appeals lodged by CFDT, Unsa, the Ligue des droits de l’Homme and the CGT, with legal arguments due to be transmitted to the court by the end of October.
- The decree that took effect on May 31 allows suspending jobseeker and RSA payments by at least 30% for one to two months, rising to four months for repeated breaches.
- Departments choose suspension levels between 30% and 100% or can delegate decisions to France Travail, a decentralization critics say creates unequal treatment across territories.
- Opponents cite barriers such as digital access and a ten‑day contest deadline, pointing to cases where a missed online update resulted in a month without RSA payments.
