The government promised on Monday to facilitate access to exceptional financial assistance (AFE) for self-employed workers affected by the riots. This support system makes it possible to obtain aid of up to 6,000 euros for self-employed workers in difficulty.
This is the same device as the one released in January 2022 following Covid-19. This AFE is paid by the Council for the social protection of self-employed workers (CPSTI). “The relaxation that is provided in the context of these riots aims to allow a much faster processing of requests for help” made by the independents who have been affected, Bercy said during a conference call with the press.
A request that can be made until August 31
The Ministry of the Economy clarified that this aid might be paid “within ten days from the time the files are submitted”. The aid request can be made until August 31st. The government has also announced the appointment of a national referent “who will be responsible for supporting in the process” companies in difficulty.
Self-employed workers can always benefit from the health and social offer of the CPSTI, in particular Aid to contributors in difficulty (ACED) which allows the partial or total support of personal contributions and social contributions, specifies Bercy in a press release.
Following the riots, the Minister of Economy Bruno Le Maire and the Minister for SMEs Olivia Grégoire had already announced several measures for businesses, in particular the extension of the period from 5 to 30 days to make a claim and a commitment from insurers to compensate as soon as possible, as well as the possibility for independent traders to spread out the payment of their social and tax charges.
