Question 9095 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Christophe Marion questions the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for autonomy and disability, on the ban on the cumulative receipt of the education allowance supplement for disabled children (AEEH) and the unemployment benefit to help people return to work (ARE). This principle seems to have been recorded in the instruction (IT 2024-233) of the national benefits fund (CNAF) sent to its network on December 5, 2024. This document draws up a list of benefits that cannot be combined with AEEH supplements, including daily unemployment benefits. This impossibility of cumulating aid, which is not based on any legal system, is, moreover, difficult to understand. In fact, the AEEH supplement is allocated to cover the needs for human assistance or costs linked to child's disability. Several levels of supplement exist to adapt to the different categories, defined by article R. 541-2 of the social security code, to which the disabled child may belong. Supplement four, for example, is attributable to the parent of a child whose disability requires them to work only part-time and results in monthly expenses exceeding 391.69 euros. The ARE constitutes, as for it, a replacement income paid to people involuntarily deprived of employment and registered as applicants, including for part-time employment. No longer granting the supplement four to a beneficiary who has lost his part-time job and receives the ARE as such implies that the impediment to exercising a professional activity would no longer be due to the child's disability. However, its needs for human assistance remain unchanged as do the costs inherent to their disability which do not cease with the parent's activity but become, on the contrary, all the more difficult to assume financially. The Social Security Accounts Commission also recalls that three quarters of families benefiting from the AEEH have a standard of living below the median standard of living. The MP therefore fails to explain the basis of this non-cumulation of aid and asks the Government to ensure the conformity and relevance of the CNAF’s instruction. In a May 2025 report on territorial divergences in the methods of granting legal social assistance, the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) and the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (IGAS) call for harmonization of practices by the National Solidarity Fund for Autonomy (CNSA) as well as an “updated, consolidated and clarified. He asks her if she intends to implement these recommendations and take advantage of the updating of this framework to clearly specify the articulation of social assistance between them.
