Complementary health and solidarity: the new ceilings on resources

Publié le 01 avril 2025 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

If you have modest resources, you can benefit from the complementary health solidarity to be helped in your health expenses. Depending on your income level, the device is free or paid for. The ceilings for resources to be eligible were increased following a decree published in Official Journal 29 march 2025.

Depending on your resources, the complementary health solidarity (C2S):

  • costs you nothing;
  • costs you less than 1 € per day.

The ceilings for eligibility were increased on 1er April 2025.

For the resource ceilings applied in the departments of Alsace-Moselle, Overseas and Mayotte, see the sheet dedicated to the complementary health solidarity of Service-Public.fr.

The resources taken into account are those that you received during the 12 months preceding the penultimate month of your application. For example, for an application made in April 2025, the reference period is between 1er March 2024 and February 29, 2025. You can check your eligibility for the solidarity health supplement thanks to a simulator of the portal mesdroitssociale.gouv.fr.

The application for a solidarity-based health supplement may be made:

  • online, on your ameli account;
  • by sending to your health insurance fund a application form completed and accompanied by the supporting documents requested.

You can also establish a power of attorney for the request at your checkout.

After receiving your application, your health insurance fund will review your application within 2 months and inform you of its decision.

If your application is accepted, your entire household benefits from the complementary health solidarity, in other words:

  • yourself;
  • your Civil partnership, partner or partner (civil solidarity pact);
  • dependants under 25 years of age.

Reminder

The solidarity health supplement allows you to pay health expenses not covered by the compulsory health insurance. Thanks to it, you can therefore benefit from the payment of all your expenses, without having to advance them, for a certain number of medical services (drugs, medical consultations, hospitalizations, certain glasses, hearing aids and dental...).
