Allowance for disabled adults (AAH)
Verified 18 August 2022 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)
Deconjugating spousal income
Published on 18 August 2022
The spouse's income will no longer be included in the calculation of the Adult Disability Allowance (AAH).
This measure will apply once an order is issued and no later than 1to October 2023.
That's what it says article 10 of the law n°2022-1158 of 16 august 2022 on emergency measures for the protection of purchasing power .
The information on this page remains current and will be modified as soon as the text enters into force.
The Adult Disability Allowance (AAH) is a financial assistance that allows you to have a minimum of resources. This aid is granted subject to criteria of incapacity, age, residence and resources. It is granted by decision of the Committee on the Rights and Autonomy of Persons with Disabilities (CDAPH). Its amount complements your other resources.
Adult Disability Allowance (AAH) is awarded to you if you meet the criteria of disability, age, residence and resources.
To see if you can perceive the AAH, you can use a simulator:
Know what benefits you may be entitled to
Disability rate
You must have a disability rate (disability assessment) of at least 80%.
You can have a disability rate of 50-79% if you have a substantial and long-term restriction on access to employment, recognised by the HRC.
The restriction is substantial when you encounter significant difficulties in gaining access to a job that cannot be compensated for by, for example, workstation measures.
The restriction is sustainable if it has a foreseeable duration of at least 1 year from the date of filing of the application.
The disability rate is determined by the CDAPH based on guide-scale for the assessment of disabilities .
Age
You must be at least 20 years old (or at least 16 years old if you are no longer considered dependent on your parents for the benefit of family benefits).
Residence
Répondez aux questions successives et les réponses s’afficheront automatiquement
You are French
You can collect the AAH if you reside in metropolitan France or in the following departments or communities:
- Guadeloupe
- Guyana
- Martinique
- Mayotte
- Meeting
- Saint Barthélemy
- Saint Martin
- Saint Pierre and Miquelon
You are European
You can collect the AAH if you have been living in France for more than 3 months. This 3-month residence requirement is not required if you are engaged in a professional activity.
Warning
you and your family members must have sufficient resources to apply for an HAA.
You are a foreigner of another country
You can collect the AAH if you have lived in France for at least 3 months. This 3-month residence requirement is not required if you are engaged in a professional activity.
You must also be in a regular situation, i.e. have a residence permit or a residence permit renewal application.
Resources
Your resources added to those of your spouse (married, married, cohabiting) must not exceed a certain limit.
Number of dependent children within the meaning of family benefits | You live alone | You live together |
---|---|---|
0 | €11,480 | €20,778 |
1 | €17,220 | €26,518 |
2 | €22,960 | €32,258 |
3 | €28,699 | €37,998 |
4 | €34,439 | €43,738 |
The resources taken into account are all category net income N-2 (2020 for applications made in 2022).
A reduction (i.e. a reduction) of €5 000 and €1,400 additional dependent child is applied to the annual income of your spouse who does not receive the HAA.
Example :
If your spouse collects €20,000 per year €15 000 will be taken into account when calculating your HAA.
The relevant annual income on which the allowance applies shall be:
- Income from commercial, craft, liberal or agricultural activities
- Salaries and wages, pensions, gratuitous annuities and remuneration of managers and associates of certain businesses
- Guaranteed remuneration for work in an establishment or work-related service (Esat)
Land income, i.e. rents received for rented accommodation, is, for example, not covered by the rebate. They are taken into account in full.

You have no resources
You receive the maximum amount of the AAH that is €956.65 (whether you have a disability rate between 50% and 79% or more).
You receive a pension or annuity (disability, retirement, accident at work)
You receive the difference between the amount of your pension or annuity and €956.65.
You work
It depends on whether you work in establishment and work-aid service (Esat) or ordinary medium.
Work in Esat
The amount of the AAH is calculated based on your business income.
Your resources are evaluated on the basis of data from the penultimate year that is transmitted by the tax department. However, the calculation of your rights can be quarterly if you start in Esat after having had a professional activity in ordinary environments.
Ordinary
The amount of the AAH is calculated based on your business income.
You must file a quarterly statement of your resources with your Caf either by completing a form or directly online on the Caf website. You must have your tenant number and PIN.
You are hospitalised or housed in a special care home (Mas)
Less than 60 days
You continue to collect full-rate HAA, either €956.65 per month.
Over 60 days
The amount of the AAH is reduced to 30%, €287.00 per month.
However, this discount does not apply if you are in one of the following situations:
- You pay a daily fee, or €20 per day
- You have at least 1 dependent child within the meaning of family benefits or 1 ascending tax
- The person you live with as a couple does not work for a reason recognised by the HRC
At the end of your hospitalisation or accommodation, the payment of the AAH is resumed at full rate, or €956.65.
You're incarcerated

- You have at least 1 dependent child within the meaning of family benefits or 1 ascending tax
- The person you live with as a couple does not work for a reason recognised by the HRC
At the end of your incarceration, the HAA payment is resumed at full rate, or €956.65.
It all depends on your disability rate.
Minimum 80%
Permanent Incapacity
HAA is assigned for life if your activity limitations cannot evolve favourably.
Non-permanent disability
AAH is awarded for a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 10 years.
50-79%
The HAA is granted for a period of 1 to 2 years. This duration can reach 5 years if your disability and the substantial and lasting restriction on access to employment cannot change favourably during the attribution period.
It all depends on your disability rate.
FYI
if you have never contributed to the old age insurance or do not benefit from any benefits, the AAH is replaced by solidarity allowance for the elderly (Aspa).

Minimum 80%
You continue to receive full or reduced HAA in addition to your retirement. A differential HPA can thus be paid to you in addition to your pension if the latter is less than the amount of the HPA (€956.65).
50% to 79%
The HAA payment is terminated from the age of your retirement.
The HAA can be combined with the following:
- Resource Add-in. This supplement deleted since December 2019. However, if you received this assistance up to that date, you will continue to receive it if you meet the conditions for the grant, for a maximum period of 10 years.
If you receive other allocations (for example: disability pension, RSA), you may benefit in part from the HAA in some cases.
It is not possible to accumulate the AAH and specific solidarity allowance (SSA). However, if you received these 2 grants on December 31, 2016, you can continue to collect them as long as you meet the conditions, for a maximum period of 10 years.
The amounts paid to you do not have to be refunded by your heirs upon your death.
