Question 7538 — disabled people

Summary

In accordance with the commitments of the President of the Republic, the allowance for disabled adults (AAH) will be subject to exceptional upgrades which aim to combat the poverty suffered by people due to their disability. They will take place in addition to the two legal revaluations of April 2018 and April 2019 and will make it possible to increase the amount of the AAH to €860 in November 2018 then to €900 in November 2019. In parallel with these revaluations, measures are taken to adjust the AAH calculation rules. Concomitantly with the measures to increase the amount of the AAH, the multiplier coefficient, used to calculate the AAH for a couple, will be brought closer to that of the other social minima. Currently 200% of the resource ceiling, it will be lowered to 190% in November 2018 and to 180% in November 2019. The coefficient will, however, remain higher than for other social minimums with regard to the specificities of AAH and disability care. AAH beneficiaries who live as a couple will not be penalized by the reduction in this ceiling. Indeed, the amount of the multiplier coefficient used in the calculation of the amount of the AAH will be refined according to the revaluations in order to maintain a constant resource ceiling. Concerning the merger of the additional resources in the increase for independent living (MVA), which will take place in January 2019, this is guided by an objective of rationalization and simplification. In fact, the terms and criteria for awarding these two supplements differ little, which is a source of complexity. This merger will only concern new AAH beneficiaries. The rights of current beneficiaries of the additional resources (6% of beneficiaries, i.e. 68 118 beneficiaries) and the MVA (14% of beneficiaries, or 152,883 beneficiaries) will therefore be retained. Only people who have independent accommodation and who do not benefit from housing allowances will not be eligible for the MVA: mainly those housed free of charge. In order to guarantee the financing of the unprecedented redistribution effort in favor of workers through the gradual elimination of contributions personal, provided for in the finance law for 2018 and the social security financing law for 2018 and intended to support their purchasing power, the rate of the generalized social contribution (CSG) increased by 1.7 points on January 1, 2018 on earned, replacement and capital income, with the exception of unemployment benefits and daily allowances. As of January 1, 2018, some of the pension recipients disability will therefore contribute more in the name of solidarity. These are disabled people whose income is above the threshold allowing the application of a full CSG rate, i.e., for a single person whose income consists exclusively of their disability pension, a reference tax income of €14,404 per year in mainland France. The increase in the CSG rate will be fully deductible from the income tax base and will result in, consequently, a reduction in taxes for households. The increase in the CSG rate will affect less than half of the beneficiaries of disability pensions. Furthermore, disability pension recipients will benefit from purchasing power measures proposed by the Government. In particular, they will benefit from the gradual abolition of the housing tax which will allow 80% of households to be exempt from it by 2020, when their net income is less than €2,400 net. The Government wishes to reduce this tax, which constitutes a particularly heavy tax burden on the budgets of households belonging to the middle class, particularly those residing in municipalities with the least economic activity in their territory. The amount of the tax will fall by 30% from 2018 and the households concerned will stop paying it in 2020. Ultimately, each beneficiary household will make an average saving of €550 per year.
