Subsidies for artist-authors to pay social contributions.

This law is only applied in France.

Subsidies to pay social contributions for artist-authors with financial difficulties have been implemented.

People who are considered as artist-authors and who receive incomes 900 times lower than the French minimim wage yearly (about 7,749 euros), can benefit from half or complete payment of their health care contributions.
This subsidy is now limited to the sum of the established contributions on a base equal to the threshold of incomes.
The subsidy could be given for a period of 3 years in-a-row maximum instead of 2 years before.
