New contribution to the Personal Training Account (CPF)
From May 1, 2024, CPF users must pay a financial contribution of 100 euros per training course completed. This measure aims to make beneficiaries responsible in choosing their training while sharing the costs of training that is increasingly in demand. However, this could raise questions about access to training for those with more limited resources.

Length of stay required for social assistance
Another important reform concerns family benefits and the RSA. To qualify for this support, foreigners must have lived in France for at least nine months from January 2025. This measure could affect a large number of families and could be perceived as tightening the conditions for access to social assistance for the most vulnerable population groups.
End of exceptional assistance for professionalization contracts
The government is also considering abolishing the exceptional support of 6,000 euros, intended for learning students with a professionalization contract, as of May 1, 2024. This support, which aimed to encourage the hiring of apprentices, has been a valuable resource for many young employers. Its abolition could negatively impact the apprenticeship and work-study market in France.
New tax return deadlines
The tax return deadlines have been adjusted: May 23, 2024 for paper returns and May 31, 2024 for online returns. These schedule changes require special attention from taxpayers to avoid delays and potential penalties.
Simplification of procedures for “MaPrimeRénov””
In an effort to achieve administrative simplification, the government has decided that from May 15, 2024, it will no longer be necessary to provide an energy performance diagnosis (DPE) to benefit from “MaPrimeRénov”. This measure should facilitate and speed up the procedures for people who want to carry out energy renovation works.
Perspectives and implications of these changes
These reforms, although diverse, share a common goal: to rationalize and adapt public policies to contemporary economic and social realities. However, they also raise questions about fairness, accessibility of services and support, and the administrative burden for citizens and companies.
