10 key questions on the PLA
You're a tenant
It all depends on your diet: general (Caf) or agricultural (MSA).
You are covered by the general scheme (Cf)
To find out if you can collect the LPA, you can use the Family Allowance Fund (CFA) simulator:
Cif: Estimate his entitlement to housing benefits and calculate his amount
You are covered by the Agricultural Scheme (AMM)
To find out if you can receive the APL, you can use the Agricultural Social Mutual Society (ASM) simulator:
MSA: Estimate his entitlement to housing benefits and calculate his amount
Conditions related to your situation
- Tenant
- Sub-tenant (declared to the owner) of a fully or partially rented dwelling, provided that it is under the age of 30 years or that it is housed in a family friendly
No minimum age requirement is required. Therefore, you can be a minor and receive the PLA, but the lease must be signed by your parents. The rent receipt can be made out in your name. If you are emancipated minor, the lease must be in your name.
If you are a foreigner, you must have a valid residence permit.
Please note
in the presence of children in alternate care, each parent may obtain the PLA, but only for the cumulative period during which each parent takes the child into their home during the year.
Conditions related to your accommodation
The APL is awarded for your principal residence located in France and only if your accommodation respects certain standards of decency and minimum conditions of occupation.
The dwelling must be agreed. Your landlord has to tell you (most low-cost housing is contracted).
Conditions related to your resources
The PLA shall be awarded on a means-tested basis and in accordance with certain ceilings varies depending on the composition of your home and the location of your accommodation.
The resources taken into account are those of the last 12 months. They are updated automatically every 3 months. So you don't have to do anything. Caf or MSA automatically recovers the amount of your assets, in particular from the tax department of Pôle emploi.
FYI
you cannot touch the APL if you are attached to the tax shelter of your paying parents the real estate wealth tax (IFI).
It all depends on your diet: general (Caf) or agricultural (MSA).

- Value of your real estate and financial assets and those of the person with whom you live as a couple and of the persons usually living in your household, where this value is greater than €30,000
