Could it be a new way of making
savings ? While the government of Michel Barnier is in the middle of discussions regarding 2025 budget,
and that the taxes and bills of the French will most likely increase next year, some, on sick leave, already struggling to make ends meet.
The reason? A good number were taken away, without any reason or explanation compensation which enabled them to survive on a daily basis. Very bad news for already insecure households who find themselves in a very difficult financial situation. A problem recognized byHealth insurancewho admitted to working to fix the problem.
This mistake by Health Insurance eliminated compensation for the French
What happened exactly? Why does this issue concern only two departments and which are they? For the affected households, the problems are how to reach one
mail mistakenly sent to them in early October. A letter stating that their
daily allowancewhich they were entitled to, because sick leave, stays jelly after six months. “Many others anomalies
like double payments, recipient error, payment error“which led to “a suspension of payments over several days” is also condemned by the CFDT.
These are more precisely, according to the CGT, “5,000 insured primary health insurance funds (CPAM) in Vendée and Loire-Atlantique” WHO “has been without payment of unemployment benefits since 20 September”. Households that find themselves “immersed in great precarity”. Stressful and incomprehensible hiccups for the people who are victims, even more so when nothing moves despite requests.

A deposit that will soon have to be paid by the Health Insurance to help those on sick leave?
Since the problem comes from the Health Insurance, and more precisely from a new software which seems to have stemmed, in the coming days a deposit could well be paid to those affected by the freezing of compensation. The National Health Insurance Fund (Cnam) announced thus
“reinforcements” WHO “was inserted”.
Of “advance payments have been made to compensate all policyholders”also secured the organization. Transfers must be made to bank accounts “between this week and next week”. Enough to allow
most affected households to catch their breath while they wait for the situation to be resolved for them in both departments.
New software causes the problem
The person responsible for all these problems within the Health Insurance and all the stress that people in sick leave ? Software called “Arpège”, implemented in the test phase in the departments of Loire-Atlantique and Vendée. As 20 minutes indicates, it is
“already used to pay unemployment benefit to the self-employed at national level”but have
“calling to be gradually introduced for all socially insured by 2025, according to the trade unions.”

It is also according to Sygesikring, “significant, because the old tool, implemented more than twenty years ago, no longer made it possible to respond effectively to current needs“. This new software should also help
“modernize, automate and thus speed up the processing of work stoppages”. Which would allow, according to the organization, to “free up time“ to the agents. They could thus, as she explains further, carry out missions “higher added value”.
