Accrual with Adult Disability Allowance (HPA)
Since 2017, if you can collect AAH, you can no longer get the ASS. However, if you have rights open to these 2 grants on 31 December 2016, you continue to collect them as long as the eligibility conditions are met, for a maximum period of 10 years.
A request for admission to the ASS is sent to you by Pôle emploi at the end of your unemployment benefits.
You have no steps to take to benefit from the SSA. Pôle emploi sends the necessary printed matter directly to the unemployed who have lost their rights.
ASS is allocated by 6-month renewable periods. A renewal request is sent to you by Pôle emploi at the end of the compensation period.
The SSA is paid to you monthly by Pôle emploi at maturity (for example, early November for the October allocation).
Its daily amount is €17.90 (€536.95 for 1 month of 30 days).
