Open Procedure for a Study on People Whose Socio-economic Situation Cannot Be Established After the End of Their Unemployment Benefits

The time limit on unemployment benefits will lead, from 2026, to a significant withdrawal from unemployment insurance. For some of the people concerned, administrative data makes it possible to establish their subsequent socio-economic situation: employment, other social security benefit, illness/disability, social assistance via the CPAS or allowance for disabled people. For another group, however, the situation after the end of the right remains unclear. These people disappear from the usual administrative monitoring. The absence of a visible administrative path does not necessarily mean that these people are deprived of means of existence. Possible explanations include personal or household professional income, assets or savings, training or support, departure abroad, a request refused by the CPAS, non-recourse to rights or income/activities which cannot be identified from the available sources. However, the fact that a person no longer appears in the traditional benefit streams does not necessarily mean that they are deprived of the means of subsistence. Possible explanations include: - the professional income of the person themselves; - the income of other members of the household excluding the right to integration income; - temporary or uncertain income; - the possession of savings, real estate assets or other means of existence; - departure abroad; - the absence of a fixed residence; - a request refused by a CPAS; - or the absence of request for social rights to which the person could possibly claim. The study must examine the scale, profile, effective livelihoods, social impact and evolution over time of this group. Particular attention is paid to people who apply to a CPAS without receiving integration income, to possible delayed entry into social assistance.
