CAF payments include revalued APL

The CAF (Caisse d'allocations familiales) assistance payments scheduled for Thursday, November 5, include revalued APL (Aide Personnalisée au Logement). These payments are typically made on the 5th of the month, unless that date falls on a weekend or a holiday.

Revaluation of benefits took effect in October

The revaluation of 1.15% for benefits such as the Active Solidarity Income (RSA), the Adult Disability Allowance (AAH), the activity bonus, family allowances, and housing aids (APL, social housing allowance, family housing allowance) took effect on October 1.
