At a time when the cost of living has risen sharply, it is our responsibility to sustainably strengthen and protect families’ purchasing power.
That is why, as of 1 January 2027, we are introducing a series of concrete measures that will ease the burden on families in their day-to-day lives and sustainably improve their financial situation.
Child benefit will be noticeably increased: by 45 euros per month for children under 12 and by 60 euros per month for children aged 12 and over.
The Allocation de rentrée scolaire will also be significantly improved. It will rise from 115 to 175 euros for children aged 6 to 11, and from 235 to 325 euros for children aged 12 and over.
To ensure that this support remains effective in the long term, child benefit, the Allocation de rentrée scolaire, the birth grant and the Allocation spéciale supplémentaire will once again be automatically indexed in the future.
This will keep families’ purchasing power protected even as living costs rise.
Our attention is focused in particular on those families who need stronger support in everyday life. That is why we are introducing a new additional form of financial support for certain families with school-age children, which—depending on the child’s age—can amount to up to €3,000 per year. In this way, we are taking targeted action against the risk of child poverty and helping those families who need this support most.
