Eighteen departments and a metropolis. The Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt, announced, Tuesday, December 13, what will be the territories which will experiment with the new active solidarity income (RSA), in 2023. There is in particular Aisne, the Bouches-du-Rhône, the Creuse, the Metropolis of Lyon, Reunion or the Seine-Saint-Denis. “All of these departments reflects full diversity on the geographical, demographic and social level”, specifies the minister in a press release.

With this reform, which is more global that of the public employment service, with the creation of France Work, the Government wishes to condition the RSA at weekly activity hours, in the image of what was done for the young commitment contract. In a letter sent to the stakeholders in November and that MO12345lemonde has obtained, Mr. Dussopt explains that “all beneficiaries of the experimental territories will be required to sign a commitment contract on the basis of intensive support with a Target from fifteen to twenty hours per week “.

Support that can take several forms: immersion and training in business, accompanied social approach, collective workshops, citizen activity, support for business creation, integration into an integration project, etc. A large list that the minister justifies in his letter “by the desire to make possible an adaptation as fine as possible to the situation of the person” and not “by a logic of compulsory activity not remunerated and assimilated to a job”.

While experimentation – to which 20 million euros are devoted – also provides that each beneficiary of the RSA is part of Pôle Emploi, the executive specifies that there will be three types of monitoring for beneficiaries , depending on their ability to resume work quickly. The end of the prefiguration mission of France Work, entrusted to the High Commissioner for Employment, Thibaut Guilluy, was to take place in mid-December, but the presentation of the project was postponed in mid-January.
