Question 12250 — social policy

Summary

Ms. Emmanuelle Anthoine alerts the Minister of Action and Public Accounts about the deindexation of certain social benefits. Indeed, in 2019 and 2020, this will be the case for retirement pensions, family allowances and personalized housing assistance (APL). Their amount will increase by only 0.3%. A figure to compare to the 2.3% inflation expected for the moment in 2018, while wages are not expected to follow. If the Government is talking about putting an end to “the indiscriminate increase in benefits”, de-indexing retirement pensions should cause retirees to lose more than 200 euros per year. And the calculation is the same for families. After the cap on the Livret A rate at 0.75% until 2020, the loss of purchasing power should be felt by both the poor and the middle classes. To counterbalance this impression, RSA, premium activity, disabled adult allowance and minimum old age will remain increased as in the past. In order to “prioritize remuneration for activity”, the Government intends to eliminate employee contributions on overtime from September 2019. This measure, the cost of which for the State is estimated at 2 billion euros per year, should offer 200 euros of additional purchasing power to the French. But if the taxes are not increasing, this is not the case for taxes. With an increase in the price of petroleum products of 21.8%, the smallest tank of gasoline, up from 10 to 15 euros, is proof of this on a daily basis for many French people. Energy prices jumped by 14.3% over one year, and gas prices by 17.3%. Same observation for the bill for fresh products, up 6.4%. Also, she asks him how the Government intends respond to the concerns of the French in this area.
