#2026-548Changes to France’s Adult Disability Allowance Rules
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decree adjusts how certain income is treated when calculating France’s adult disability allowance, known as AAH. It extends existing income-assessment rules to function allowances paid to local elected officials, which matters for AAH recipients who also hold local elected office. It also simplifies the rules for reviewing AAH entitlement for people receiving guaranteed pay in supported work settings, by referring to the general calculation framework in the Social Security Code. The updated rules apply in stages from October to December 2026, depending on the month when the person’s AAH entitlement was opened.
