The distribution of the 2023 energy check will be postponed for a few days. Fortunately, it is accompanied by an increase in the eligibility ceiling.

State aid for energy costs

Faced with the price of energy which continues to rise, the State has set up the energy check. This is a financial aid intended for the most modest households to support them in their energy expenses.. This includes not only paying gas and electricity bills, but also expenses like installing a heat pump.

In any case, given the target population, the executive has set up a maximum income ceiling to be eligible for this aid. Thus, this ceiling was initially 10,800 euros for a single person and 19,800 euros for a household. But with the distribution of the 2023 energy voucher, this limit has been revised upwards.

Distribution of the energy voucher: more people eligible for 2023

To check your eligibility, you can go to the site corresponding to the energy check. Indeed, it is possible to make a simulation by considering its current income. Also, it is strongly encouraged to do this simulation because more people will receive this aid for 2023.

In effect, the executive has decided to raise the eligibility ceiling for the energy voucher by 200 euros. This means that the maximum income to benefit from it increases from 10,800 euros to 11,000 euros this year. Of course, this amount is always for single people. In any case, the distribution date of the 2023 energy check has also been moved.

New distribution date for the energy check

The amount of the energy check varies according to your personal situation. Indeed, you receive a higher or lower amount depending on the size of your household or its energy consumption. In any case, there is no need to take steps because it is the State that is responsible for distributing them. It draws up the list from the tax declarations you have made.

Nevertheless, the distribution of the energy check for 2023 was scheduled between March 31 and April 29 depending on the department. But according to the information, the state will only start the payment from April 21, 2023. Nevertheless, it will be worth the wait because more households will be entitled to it.
