Three million families with modest incomes will receive from this Tuesday a back-to-school allowance according to their number of children. In all, nearly five million students will be able to benefit from this aid intended to meet back-to-school expenses and thus ensure the continuity of learning.
To benefit from it, the household’s annual resource ceiling must not exceed € 25,319 with one child, € 31,162 with two children and € 37,005 with three children, then € 5,843 more per additional child. “Note that if your annual resources slightly exceed this imposed ceiling, you can still receive a reduced back-to-school allowance,” says the Family Allowance Fund which pays this aid.

This year, the allowance will not be increased by an additional 100 euros, as was the case for the start of the 2020 school year, given the social consequences of the epidemic crisis. Its amount is € 370.31 for children aged 6 to 10 as well as younger children enrolled in CP, € 390.74 for 11-14 year olds and € 404.28 for 15-18 year olds. years.
The government website indicates that parents of children aged 6 to 15 have “no action to take” since the allowance is “paid automatically to families who already have benefits and who meet the conditions”. The resumption of classes is scheduled for Thursday, September 2 for academic zones A, B and C.
