From this Tuesday 1er November, several changes come into effect. This date marks in particular the beginning of the winter break but also the return to the obligation to bring snow tires for certain municipalities located in mountainous massifs. Other measures announced a few months ago will also start, such as the introduction of the fuel oil energy check for the most modest households. We take stock.
Beginning of the winter break
1er November marks the beginning of the winter break. During this period, the eviction of a tenant, in particular because of successive unpaid bills, will no longer be possible. This truce will end on March 31, 2023.
However, this winter break does not apply in all situations. An eviction can be organized if “the people benefit from rehousing corresponding to their family needs”, explains the site Public service.
The winter break does not apply to squatters either. Same thing in the context of a non-conciliation order (in the event of divorce) or a protection order (in the event of violence in the couple or on a child).
Snow tires mandatory in some departments
From 1er November and until March 31, motorists from 34 departments located in mountainous massifs will have to equip their vehicles with snow tires or have removable equipment (chains or socks).
Within these departments, each prefect defines the municipalities concerned by this obligation and communicates the list. But also the routes to include and exclude.
This new regulation is the consequence of the Mountain II law entered into force on October 18, 2020. This aims both to improve road safety but also to reduce, during snowy or icy episodes, traffic jams and other blockages on the roads.
Penalties for motorists who do not have the appropriate equipment will not come into force before the end of 2022.
Fuels: discounts extended until mid-November
It was to fall to 10 cents per liter on the 1er november. The discount financed by the State will finally be maintained at 30 centimes fifteen days more.
On Sunday October 16, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne announced on the JT set of TF1 the extension of the discount of 30 cents “until mid-November”.
As well as that of 20 cents proposed by Total, which is added to that of the State. The oil giant maintains it until mid-November. The TotalEnergies rebate should then be reduced to 10 cents per litre, until December 31.
Repairability index extended to other products
Since 1er January 2021, a repairability index has appeared on the labels of five types of products such as front-loading washing machines, televisions, smartphones, laptops and even lawnmowers.
A mark out of 10 affixed to the product indicates whether the object is easy to repair. From November 4, this index will be extended to new product categories: top-loading washing machines, dishwashers, pressure washers and corded, non-robot vacuum cleaners.
A check for €100 to €200 for households heating with fuel oil
To support households heating with oil and deal with the surge in energy, a fuel energy check of 100 to 200 € will be paid from November 8 to the most modest households.
“A fuel check can be requested, from November 8, on the chequeenergie.fr site where a simulator will show who is eligible for this aid. This check can range from €100 to €200, depending on household income, and can be used to pay electricity bills (for those who have already filled up their tank)”indicated the Minister of Public Accounts, Gabriel Attal during an interview granted to West France beginning of October.
According public service websitethis device concerns 1.6 million homes using this type of heating.
Supplementary private pensions are increasing
The supplementary pension paid by Agirc-Arrco to private pensioners will be increased by 5.12% in November.
“13 million retirees will benefit from this increase in their Agirc-Arrco supplementary pension from the November 2022 deadline, paid on Wednesday November 2, 2022”can we read on the Public Service site.
The minimum child support will be increased by 50%
It was a campaign promise from Emmanuel Macron. From this month of November, the minimum alimony will be increased by 50% in order to “support the income of single-parent families”. It will go from €122.93 to €184.39.
This amount corresponds to the minimum amount paid by the Family Allowance Fund (Caf) or the Mutualité sociale agricole (MSA), either to supplement small pensions, or in the event of non-payment by the debtor parent.
