How is the annual Mobili-Jeune aid amount structured?

The Mobili-Jeune aid is not paid as a single lump sum of €1,000. It is paid out in up to 11 monthly installments, each ranging from €10 to €100. The total annual amount depends directly on the duration of your work-study program and the portion of the rent you are personally responsible for paying.

Let us now look at the details of how this total amount is calculated. Action Logement sets an overall cap of €1,100 per training year; this maximum is reached only if your out-of-pocket rent exceeds €100 per month for 11 months. For applicants below this threshold, the payment strictly corresponds to the actual rent amount remaining after the APL housing benefit has been deducted.
