Question 14536 — people with disabilities

Summary

Ms. Julie Delpech draws the attention of the Minister of Labor and Solidarity to the situation of disabled workers deprived, since the beginning of 2026, of the benefit of the activity bonus. Since the creation of the activity bonus in 2016, people receiving a disability pension and exercising a professional activity have benefited from a special calculation method allowing this pension to be assimilated to a earned income, thus qualifying for the bonus. This system recognized the true value of the efforts of those who, despite their disability, maintain or return to professional activity. Article 172 of the finance law for 2018 first removed this exemption. Faced with the reactions aroused by this decision, the Government backed down. Article 269 of Law No. 2018-1317 of December 28, 2018 Finance for 2019 finally reinstated the exemption, but on a temporary basis, until December 31, 2024 only. After this period, no lasting measure has been adopted. The transitional period, mechanically extended by the quarterly calculation of rights, ended for certain beneficiaries at the beginning of 2026, leading to a sudden and unexpected elimination of their bonus. From now on, the disability pension being reclassified as simple household resource, it is deducted from the amount of the premium, most often canceling it completely. People who work, who contribute and who already find themselves in precarious financial situations due to their disability, thus suffer a net loss of income ranging from 100 to more than 200 euros per month, without any replacement system having been planned. She wishes to know whether the Government intends to restore in a lasting manner the assimilation of the disability pension to professional income for the calculation of the activity bonus, in order not to discourage the continued employment of disabled people and to put an end to an injustice that the National Assembly itself recognized in 2019.
