False messages of “optional premium” or “unpublished premium” have been circulating lately on the Internet. The information, which is intended to lure consumers onto fake pages in order to gain an audience or impersonate their accounts, is not legitimate; the CAF has warned that it has not announced any new support or bonus in recent weeks.
There is only one way to find out what rights you have: go to the Caf > Space
My Account
.
The site allows you to check and if necessary correct your profile information as well as simulate your rights and request family and social benefits.
Warning
The online steps of the Cfa must be done only on your secure space
My Account
or via the mobile app.
If you want to contact your Cof, a unique number: the 3220. This number is at the cost of a local call, it will never be overcharged.
Simple rules to avoid scams
Beware of emails and text messages with spelling errors.
Make sure the page starts with
https://
and by a padlock appearing before or after.
Check the url address of the site: public site urls always end with ".gouv.fr" or ".fr" and never with ".gouv.org" or ".gouv.com".
