The financial assistance to which you are entitled
Mathéo celebrated his third birthday. Owl ! It’s a big one as he says. But, at the same time, you have to say goodbye to some. To see a little more clearly on the budget side, a little recap …
Complement of free choice of childcare
This is the only help from Paje (childcare benefit) that you receive until your child is 6 years old. The conditions are always the same (Benjamin or Léa must be looked after by a nanny at home or a childminder). You will receive from 84,79 to 448,25 euros, depending on your resources. But bad news: his amount is halved after his three years.
Family allowances
They are paid until your toddlers are 20 years old. You must have at least two dependent children and meet income conditions.
Little more: the aid is increased from the 11 years (then the 16 years) of your child (note, if you have two children, the increase only concerns the second).
Amounts of the allowance:
Number of children | Allowance amount |
2 children | 125,78 euros |
3 children | 286,94 euros |
Add 161,17 per additional child.
Supplements:
Child from 11 to 16 years old: 35,38 euros
Child over 16: 62,90 euros
Parental presence allowance for the sick child
You reduce or stop your professional activity for at least 6 months to take care of your child (serious illness or disability, accident).
This assistance can be paid to you during this period and be renewed within the limit of 3 years.
Aid amounts:
You will be paid as many daily allowances as the number of days of absence taken, up to a limit of 22 allowances per month.
You live as a couple: 41,79 euros.
You live alone: 49,65 euros.
A monthly supplement for costs of 106,88 euros may be paid to you if you have incurred expenses related to the child’s state of health for an amount equal to or greater than 107,41 euros.
Family support allowance
Are you raising a child on your own? Aid of 88,44 to 117,92 euros is paid to you until your 20th birthday.
Your resources are not taken into account for the calculation of the allowance.
Education allowance for disabled children
It corresponds to the former special education allowance paid to parents with a disabled child. The basic allowance is 126,41 euros.
There are supplements calculated according to the expenses for the care of the child and the reduction in the working time of the parents ranging from 51,36 to 1060,17 euros.
New help from the age of 3
The family supplement
Your youngest has just blown out his third birthday and you already have two children over 3 years old (and under 21 years old)?
You can receive, each month, the family supplement, ie 163,71 euros (income conditions to be respected).
We will have to wait until he is 6 years old
Back-to-school allowance
It is paid when your child joins the school benches and the primary school playground (and up to the age of 18). For the 2012-2013 school year, it amounts to 287,84 to 314,24 euros (resource limits to be respected).
It is paid in mid August for children aged 6 to 16.
* Amounts valid until December 31, 2012
