Unemployed Covid premium
Precarious workers: the exceptional premium is extended by 3 months
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Precarious workers who have short contracts and periods of unemployment, particularly affected by the economic and social consequences of the health crisis, can benefit from exceptional assistance guaranteeing them a minimum income of €900 monthly for the months of November 2020 to August 2021. Initially planned until February 2021 and extended until May 2021, the aid is extended for June, July and August 2021. This is indicated in an order in council issued on May 29, 2021. The conditions for the award remain the same.
Who is involved?
This measure is intended for workers affected by the sharp drop in the number of temporary assignments and fixed-term contracts caused by the health situation.
These are the : extra employees in hotels, restaurants or events, seasonal, temporary employees...
The premium shall not be paid to the beneficiaries of the recovery or company creation aid.
Please note
This government aid is paid automatically (without any special steps to be taken) by Pôle emploi to jobseekers who receive compensation or are not.
What are the conditions?
To be eligible for this state-promised financial assistance, you must:
- reside in the national territory;
- be registered as a jobseeker in one or more months between November 2020 and August 2021 inclusive;
- have accumulated short contracts and worked at least 60% time in 2019 (at least 138 days) and not being able to work sufficiently in 2020 to recharge rights due to the crisis;
- be below a resource level of €900 per month.
FYI
Payments are made at the end of the month. The final payment for August will therefore take place in September 2021.
How is the aid calculated?
The amount of the aid will cover the difference between the person's income (salary, unemployment benefit, RSA...) and the amount of €900 monthly net payments.
If the person finds a job, the assistance is calculated by counting 60% compensation.
Please note
This measure is intended to benefit nearly 450,000 precarious workers, including 80,000 young people.
