Manuel Valls this Tuesday new measures to fight against poverty, including the creation of 1 January 2016 “activity premium” intended to low-income workers, which will replace the current arrangements deemed too complex and inefficient.
Prime Minister that this “Roadmap 2015-2017″ five-year plan to fight against poverty implemented in 2013 before the national fight against exclusion policies Council (CNLE) and a dozen ministers, meeting at the Ministry of Social Affairs.
awaited two years, the reform of the two existing assistive devices the working poor, the employment bonus (PPE) and RSA-activity was confirmed in August by François Hollande: the head of state announced their merger in an “activity premium”, as advocated in a report published last summer by MP PS Christophe Sirugue.
The EPP indeed for defects to be paid with a lag of one year, as any tax credit, and be distributed widely (over 5 million beneficiary households in 2013), which resulted in a “dusting”. As for the RSA-activity, which complements a small salary to some 750,000 beneficiary households, it is requested that a third of people who qualify, partly because of its complexity.
Future premium activity to be included in a draft law prepared by the Minister of Labour François Rebsamen, will take effect from 1 January 2016, has already announced Manuel Valls. . The envelope will be devoted to it will be 4 billion per year
His arrangements will be simplified compared to the RSA-business, told AFP a source close to the matter: once fixed , the amount will remain the same for three months.
Sirugue report proposed that the resources of the whole household are taken into account in determining eligibility, and the premium is then calculated based income of the applicant, to be less than 1.2 minimum wage (note: the minimum wage is 1,150 euros net per month for a full time)
– Young workers –
. The premium of activity will be open “from the first euro activity,” but the threshold at which the beneficiaries will gain from the current system remained Monday night “to be determined”, said the source close to the case.
According to François Soulage, chairman of the group of associations Alert, the gain would begin to workers earning 0.5 minimum wage according to the device contemplated by Matignon, while the group requested that starts 0.3 SMIC .
The smaller incomes would receive an amount equivalent to the current system.
The maximum would be perceived by people with a salary close to 800 euros, according to a proposed hypothesis. The Sirugue report envisaged a maximum amount for the premium 215 euros, while the collective Alert Calls for 250 euros.
Unlike the RSA-activity, the premium will be open for business young workers 18 to 25 years. The collective Alert has hope that apprentices will benefit, but do not think I can win the case for working students.
To avoid the most fragile families (including single parents) are Losing the Prime Minister should announce specific provisions, Mr. Relieves hope. But there would be losers among persons receiving under the current system the highest amounts.
Apart from the premium business, the Prime Minister should put “a strong emphasis on support in employment, to housing, to childcare services for single parents, “adds the source close to the case.
It should also confirm the announcements made by the Minister of Housing Sylvia Pinel February 3, in the creation of social housing and very social, alternative to hotel for homeless families, and “give more depth” in the support plan for the long-term unemployed announced by François Rebsamen.
