AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decree changes how France calculates the adult disability allowance, especially for people who earn income through work in ESAT sheltered-work and support establishments. It removes and rewrites parts of the Social Security Code so that this type of work income is treated more clearly in the allowance calculation rules. The change affects adult disability allowance recipients with income from ESAT work, as well as the welfare bodies that calculate and pay the benefit. The new calculation rule will phase in from October to December 2026 depending on the month when the beneficiary’s right to the allowance was opened.
