Asi in 2024: maximum amount per month when only one of the couple members receives it

Published on 1 January 2024

The maximum amount per month of the Asi when only one of the couple receives it is not yet known.

This page will be modified as soon as this amount is published.

If you are disabled and you are not old enough to receive the Solidarity Allowance for the Elderly (Aspa), you can apply for theAsi: titleContent. The Asia comes to supplement your income, to make you reach a minimum total amount. It is paid monthly by the Social Security (or MSA: titleContent if you are dependent on the farm plan).

The situation varies depending on who you are in pairs or that you live alone.

As a couple

You must have a general disability that reduces your ability to work or earn by at least 2/3.

There is no minimum age to apply for Asia.

But it is no longer possible to get the Asi as soon as you reach the age for obtaining Aspa (legal retirement age).
