And you, what financial assistance from the FNS are you entitled to?
Do you struggle to make ends meet at the end of the month?
Being in such a situation doesn’t have to be permanent: fighting poverty is a top priority for the Government, and the National Solidarity Fund (FNS) offers a wide range of financial help to support households facing financial difficulties.
However, many eligible people don’t apply for these benefits — for instance, nearly 40% of those entitled to the cost-of-living allowance never request it.
And what if you were one of them without even knowing it?
How can I get the social inclusion income? (en) (Video/Audio)
Social inclusion income
The Social Inclusion Income (REVIS) is intended to support households on low incomes and to provide a basic livelihood for anyone who meets the eligibility criteria.
REVIS is made up of:
- the inclusion benefit, which is a financial aid that provides a basic means of subsistence to people who have no income or whose income does not reach a certain threshold;
- the activation allowance, which is an allowance for people who participate in activation measures under REVIS.
How can I receive the cost-of-living allowance? (fr) (Video/Audio)
Cost-of-living benefit / energy allowance
Upon application and in certain conditions, the National Solidarity Fund (Fonds national de solidarité – FNS) awards a specific benefit to low-income households.
To receive the cost-of-living benefit and the energy allowance, household income may not exceed a certain threshold. The amount of the benefit is determined on the basis of the applicant's household (whether the applicant lives alone or with several other people).
Persons who have already received the cost-of-living benefit / energy allowance will receive a pre-filled form from the FNS at the end of the year.
