Important decision
An extraordinary session of the Chamber of Deputies on Friday, 13 February 2026, fast-tracked key social reform deadlines. The Superdose is being delayed from May to August 2026 for existing recipients and changes to the subsistence and living wage are not due to start until July. Both amendments now head to the Senate.
At an extraordinary session, MPs approved a technical amendment in the first reading that is intended to relieve the labour offices of the burden of administration. According to documents and media reports, the offices are registering more than 333 000 applications from existing beneficiaries and the processing is more difficult than expected. Existing benefits are to continue until the new benefit starts to be paid so that people are not left destitute.
The super-benefit (a new state social assistance benefit) is intended to consolidate existing support – typically housing benefit and top-ups, subsistence allowance and child benefit – into one system. The intention is ‘one claim, one assessment’, but in practice it also means more complex recalculations and greater data and entitlement checks. This is why the House of Commons also postponed the planned increases in the subsistence and living wage at the same time, so that the authorities would not have to meet the changes in one go.
