A small participation
A driver’s license is often required. This is especially true for those who need a car to get to work. The problem is that it is expensive. Fortunately, you can finance this exam with your CPF (Personal Training Account). But that’s not all, as from January last year, the government also decided to open up this assistance to motorcycle riders. And, surprisingly, this event was very successful with interested parties. In total, at least 7,000 files were checked in just a few days. And that doesn’t necessarily sit well with the government, which has decided to act quickly to control spending. If such an approach were a secret, then Delegate Minister responsible for public accounts, Thomas Cazenave, made a statement on the matter earlier today. Thus, according to an AFP press release, “10% of the tuition fees will now be covered by the beneficiaries.”
Reflections on the project to no longer remove points from the driver’s license of drivers guilty of minor speed violations continue! https://t.co/w2bQX7OYx4

Save money
This means that every time a CPF Beneficiary wants to use them to fund his motorcycle license (or any other training), he will have to pay 10% out of pocket. The minister clarified that this fixed participation rate will be introduced this year, which will save 200 million euros out of a total of 2 billion. However, this will not affect everyone and it is important to note that jobseekers will be exempt from this flat fee. Later this year, a decree will be published that defines the conditions of application of this measure in consultation with the social partners. Some details of the decree are currently not being clarified. Obviously, we’ll keep you updated as soon as we have more information about this measure, which is already causing controversy among workers. And this is even if this idea has really been in the government’s mind for quite some time.
