Here are the main matters to check in November 2026, according to the guidance published by Service Public: finances, housing, transport, education and work.
Money: parcels, pensions and credit
The European Union is introducing new processing fees for imported parcels from 1 November. If you are expecting an imported order, check the details of the measure to see which fees may apply to you.
Private-sector supplementary pensions are being increased from 1 November. Those affected can consult the details of this increase to understand how it applies to their situation.
The benchmark gas sale price is rising by 6,6 % in November. To put this change in context, check the information relating to your own contract rather than inferring its effect from this figure alone.
The rules on authorised overdrafts and consumer credit are changing on 20 November. If you use an overdraft or are considering credit, refer to the details of each measure: the two matters are separate.
Housing and transport
Off-peak electricity hours are changing and the winter eviction moratorium begins on 1 November. For off-peak hours, check the times that apply to you; for the moratorium, consult the rules applicable to your situation.
The exemption ceiling for the transport allowance paid to employees is being temporarily increased. If you receive this allowance, consult the details of the measure and its period of application.
Service Public also advises checking the requirements for winter tyres and snow chains from 1 November. Before travelling, check the rules and locations covered by these requirements.
Studies, schooling and work
Students can apply for the allowance linked to the public service commitment from 2 November. Before applying, consult the conditions and procedures specified for this allowance.
Service Public also presents the details of a questionnaire in schools about sexual violence. Families can consult this information to understand the initiative.
The ceiling used to calculate daily allowances in the event of a workplace accident or occupational illness is falling from 1 November. If you are on an affected period of sick leave, check the calculation rules applicable to your situation.
This guidance is general information, not personalised advice. For each matter that concerns you, consult the details of the measure from official sources before taking any steps or making a decision.
