Solidarity allowance

In order to make it easier for all eligible persons to obtain the solidarity allowance from the municipality of Differdange, the municipal administration has simplified access for beneficiaries, in accordance with the ‘once only’ principle.

✅ Automatic allocation starting 2026

From 2026 onwards, no applications will need to be submitted.
 The solidarity allowance will be allocated automatically to those concerned. Thanks to the collaboration between the National Solidarity Fund (Fonds National de Solidarité – FNS) and the municipal authorities, the solidarity allowance will be paid automatically on the basis of the FNS’s cost-of-living allowance and energy allowance for the previous year.
