Unclaimed social benefits from the Family Allowance Fund (CAF) amount to EUR 10 billion per year. To address this non-recourse, the Government is announcing the introduction of a simplified application process, with the objective of

non-recourse territory

, following testing in several departments in 2022.

A Coordinating Committee for Access to Rights (COCOAD) has been created for its implementation, bringing together local elected representatives, social security funds, but also solidarity associations and administrative officials.

The scheme should initially cover three forms of aid: the active solidarity income (SSA), the activity premium and the personalized housing aid. This represents 20 million people, or 90% of recipients.

A pre-filled declaration for beneficiaries

In order to simplify the user process, the principle is to introduce a pre-filled form of declaration, as for income tax, which the FAC will send directly to the beneficiary. This system can be based on the data collected by the monthly resource scheme (DRM) which serves as the basis for the calculation of allocations.

The indication of the net amount of the company on the salary statement

To facilitate this pre-filled declaration procedure, a new line should be included on the salary statement, mentioning the net social amount, i.e. the amount used as a reference for calculating social benefits.

Starting in April 2023, the net social amount will be reflected in the DRM so that by 2024, any employer will be able to report this amount for each employee, similar to the taxable net income.

Please note

The net social amount is net income after deduction of all compulsory social levies. It allows beneficiaries to be directly informed of their rights, without having to take any steps.
