France to Distribute Christmas Bonus Early on December 13

Over two million households will receive the unadjusted aid ahead of schedule due to a weekend bank closure.

The Christmas bonus, benefiting over two million low-income households, will be deposited starting December 13, 2024.
This early distribution is due to December 15 falling on a Sunday, when bank transactions do not occur.
The aid is automatically given to recipients of RSA, ASS, or AER, with no application needed.
The bonus amounts remain unchanged from 2023, with a base of €152.45, not indexed to inflation.
Eligibility does not require French nationality, but certain conditions must be met, excluding those on AAH or ARE.
