Several hundred thousand people are affected by the measure announced this afternoon by Gabriel Attal. At the end of 2021, ASS was received by 321,900 beneficiaries, according to a document published in September 2023.

The amount of the ASS is slightly lower than the level of the RSA for a single person (around 608 euros) But the big difference is that ASS beneficiaries continue to acquire quarters for the calculation of their retirement, which is not the case with the RSA. “You will be able to survive, but the good thing is that when you retire you will be even poorer,” says François Hommeril, president of the CFE-CGC executives union.
