Increase in the aid for buying supplementary health cover (ACS)

Article 53 of the 2006 Social Security Financing Act amends the third paragraph of Article L. 863-1 of the Social Security Code: the amounts of the aid for buying supplementary health cover (ACS), which vary with the beneficiary's age, rise from €150 to €200, from €75 to €100 and from €250 to €400. Before 2010, the €100 amount applied to people under 25 and the €200 amount up to age 59. The article sets no specific effective date; 1 January 2006 is used. The ACS was merged into the complémentaire santé solidaire in 2019.
