Injured French people will call the claim counter

Implemented in 2018, the energy audit represents a breath of fresh air for families who are struggling to pay their energy bills, especially since electricity prices went up in February. Aware of the importance of this financial support for low-income French people, organizations have warned that About a million people could lose access to this aid. Bersi’s response was immediate: complaint counters would be set up for this purpose.

The minister confirmed it on Monday: Energy checks will be automatically sent to the beneficiaries from the beginning of April. The main eligibility criteria is household income. Assistance is given on the basis of income tax returns sent to the administration in the previous year. Let’s recall, at the same time, the tax services take into account, in addition to income, the information that they can get through the declaration before the abolition of housing tax.

We are talking specifically about the calculation of consumption units that require information on the number of household residents, knowing that the minimum limit to receive this check is 11,000 euros per consumption unit. In this regard, the association has expressed its concern, as thousands of needy people may lose this right due to abolition of housing tax. A problem that, however, only concerns new eligible people.

Here is the government site to check your eligibility for energy audit

During its passage You cBruno Le Maire, seeks reassurance: “ Energy checks will be paid in early April. There will be no losers! All the people who are entitled to it because they are in a precarious situation, because they have a normal income, because they are students… they will be entitled to it. “, he assured.

He also stressed that the association should emphasize this fact, announcing the upcoming establishment of a grievance desk so that “ Anyone who has not received their Energy Check at the end of the sending campaign (mid-May) who should be eligible can request an Energy Check.

Further, he invited the French to consult the government website to check their eligibility.
