French social security financing bill debates

Overview

The French government has proposed a one-year residency requirement for non-EU nationals to access specific social benefits, such as housing assistance and family allowances, as part of the 2027 Social Security financing bill. This measure aims to reduce the Social Security deficit to 13 billion euros by 2027, though it has faced opposition from the Socialist Party.

In a separate legislative move within the same bill, 73 deputies from the La France Insoumise (LFI) group introduced an amendment to protect the rights of elderly Algerian immigrants, known as ‘Chibanis’. The amendment seeks to allow these retirees to continue receiving the Allocation de Solidarité aux Personnes Âgées (ASPA) even if they return to Algeria or other Maghreb nations, requesting a government report to evaluate the feasibility of this change.
