MIL OSI Translation. Government of the Republic of France statements from French to English –
Source: Republic of France in FrenchThe French Republic has issued the following statement:
The APL is a social benefit paid by the Family Allowance Fund (CAF) to the most modest households. As every year on October 1, it is revalued on the basis of the evolution of the rental reference index of the second quarter of the current year.
In the 2nd quarter of 2024, theIRL showed an increase of 3.26% (in metropolitan France, Corsica and the overseas regions and departments). The APL should increase by 3.26% on October 1, 2024, unless the government decides otherwise.
In October 2023, the APL revaluation was 3.5% in mainland France, 2% in Corsica and 2.5% overseas.
Each APL application is personalized. The amount of aid is calculated based on housing expenditure parameters and resource parameters. The following elements are taken into account in particular:
the amount of your rent; the number of dependents usually living in your household; the amount of your resources and, where applicable, the amount of resources of the person with whom you live as a couple and of the people usually living in your household; the value of your real estate and financial assets and, where applicable, the value of the assets of the person with whom you live as a couple and of the people usually living in your household. This value is only taken into account if it is greater than €30,000.
The increase in APL is applied automatically by the Family Allowance Fund (CAF) or the Mutualité Sociale Agricole (MSA). Check on your online account that the revaluation has been taken into account and that the updated amount is paid. If there is a problem updating the amount, contact your CAF or MSA.
Namely
The CAF takes into consideration the date on which the request for assistance was made and compensates its beneficiaries at the beginning of the month following this request.
Please note
Some of the resource parameters are, for their part, updated on January 1 of each year also on the basis of the IRL. This is the case, for example, of the resource floors for personal housing assistance paid to student beneficiaries.
