Cost-of-living benefit
Header-VieChère

The purpose of the amended communal regulations, voted on at the meeting of the Communal Council on 14 February 2025, is to grant a cost-of-living benefit to low-income households from 2025. This allowance will be paid automatically at the end of each year, on the basis of the annual statement from the National Solidarity Fund (FNS), which lists all the people living in the commune of Niederanven who have benefited from the cost-of-living benefit and the energy allowance for the current year.

The amount of the allowance granted by the commune is set at 50% of the allowance granted by the FNS.

This regulation takes effect from 1 January 2025 and replaces all previous regulations relating to it, in particular those relating to the heating allowance, the communal cost-of-living benefit (for the month of September) and the additional cost-of-living benefit in connection with the increase in communal taxes.
