During his visit at the end of September 2018, the President of the Republic said he was "in favor" of "reviewing the management and allocation of the RSA" in Saint-Martin as requested by the community.
The government included the reform in the 2019 finance law voted on December 28 by deputies. Part of the allowance (between 50 and 70% of the amount obligatorily) will be paid to the recipient in the form of a payment voucher to spend in the French part. The modalities must be fixed by decree in the Council of State.
A project was submitted in June to the Saint-Martin executive council, which gave a favorable opinion on the condition that the fraction paid via a payment voucher be equal to 70%.
The reform was to come into force on July 1, but its implementation was delayed.
The experiment is carried out for a period of four years and no later than twelve months later, the government will submit to Parliament an evaluation report on the experiment in each of the communities concerned.
