Revaloriser l’allocation de solidarité aux personnes âgées au niveau du seuil de pauvreté et instaurer l’automaticité du versement

This French bill proposal, introduced as an ordinary law in the National Assembly, would raise the solidarity allowance for elderly people (ASPA) to the poverty threshold. It would also make the payment automatic, so eligible pensioners receive it without having to apply. The ASPA is a means-tested minimum income for older people with low pensions and resources. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text. The proposal would mainly affect low-income French residents aged 65 and over who receive the ASPA or are eligible for it. Automatic payment would aim to reduce the number of eligible people who do not claim the allowance. Public finances and the administration of social benefits would also be affected.
