The summer holidays have just started, that we already have to think about the beginning of the school year. Expected by many families, the back-to-school allowance (ARS) will be paid on August 16 in France, as well as in most overseas departments, the Ministry of Solidarity announced on Tuesday July 11.
But in Réunion and Mayotte, where the start of the school year takes place on 17 and 23 August respectively, the payment of the allowance will take place on 1 August.
Increased amounts in Mayotte
The amounts have been increased by 5.6% compared to the premium paid in the summer of 2022. This year the amount of the ARS ranges from 398.09 to 434.61 euros, depending on the age of the child. 398.09 EUR for children aged 6 to 10, €420.05 for 11 to 14 year olds, e €434.61 for teenagers aged 15 to 18.
