A help from €200 is being set up in two stages to support students who have lost their jobs and precarious young people under 25 who are in serious difficulty because of measures taken during the health emergency. The most precarious youth component is the subject of an Order in Council issued in Official Journal on 25 June 2020.
Who is involved?
As a result of the lockdown imposed to combat the spread of the Coronavirus outbreak and its consequences, many students and young people are facing severe financial hardship due to the loss of their jobs and the closure of university restaurants.
A help from €200 has been paid since the beginning of June to students, scholars or non-scholars:
who have lost their job (from 32 hours a month, i.e. 8 hours a week) for at least two months since 1er January 2020;
having lost their gratified internship of at least two months (mandatory in the curriculum, scheduled to take place before the 1er June 2020 at the latest or interrupted before its original deadline, between 17 March and 1er June 2020);
from overseas who are isolated in mainland France and have been unable to return home due to the health crisis.
Short-time students are not affected. Apprentices and trainees can be classified as young people who are precarious and not studying.
A help from €200 is paid since June 25, 2020 to non-student youth under 25 years of age who are in receipt of personalized housing allowances (PLA) in a situation

These one-off grants are paid out in June and are expected to cover a total of around 800 000 young people.
