Verified 01 avril 2022 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)
The family supplement is a benefit paid under income conditions to persons with at least 3 children over 3 years of age. There is no process to get it. The amount varies depending on the level of income.
Conditions for children
You must have at least 3 dependent children, aged over 3 years and under 21 years.
Resource Conditions
Your resources must not exceed an amount determined according to your family situation. That's the categorical net income of 2020 which shall be taken into account for 2022.
Dependent children | Couple with 1 income | Couple with 2 income | Isolated parent |
|---|---|---|---|
3 children | €39,195 | €47,947 | €47,947 |
4 children | €45,728 | €54,480 | €54,480 |
Per additional child | €6,533 | €6,533 | €6,533 |
There are 2 revenues in the couple where each of the 2 receives professional income for an amount at least equal (in 2020) to €5,594
If the resources are just over the resource limit, you will receive a differential allowance.
Please note : if you live in a overseas department (Dom), the conditions for the award and the amount of the family supplement are different. Information on Caf website .
You don't have to do this because the tax services automatically send the information to the Family Allowance Fund (Caf) or the agricultural social mutuality (MSA).
The declaration must be made only if this transmission has not been made.
