Opening of the AJPP
The right is open on calendar during which 3 conditions are met:
- Submission of application accompanied by medical certificate
- Certificate of honour concerning professional activity
- Need for parental presence and compulsory care
Duration of entitlement to the AJPP
The right to the AJPP is open for a maximum period of 3 years.
During this period, the parent is entitled to a maximum of 310 days of daily allowances, thus 310 days of absence to be taken according to the needs of attendance with the child.
The maximum number of daily allowances per month is 22 days.
The right shall be open for a period equal to the foreseeable duration of treatment, as determined by the doctor following the child.
FYI : you can take half days.
Renewal
Répondez aux questions successives et les réponses s’afficheront automatiquement
Expected duration of treatment up to 6 months
The right to AJPP ceases at the end of the treatment.
In case of relapse, the right can be reopened. The duration of the duty period and the maximum number of daily allowances that may be paid shall be calculated from the initial date of entitlement.
FYI : in case of new pathology (not relapse), a new right may be opened.
Predictable processing time greater than 6 months
Where the doctor so provides, the expected duration of treatment shall be reviewed at the time specified by the doctor: between 6 months and 1 year.
When the expected duration is greater than 1 year, it shall be reviewed at that time.
The AJPP entitlement is open for periods of 6 to 12 months. In case of renewal, an application must be made to the Caf or the MSA at the end of this period. The right to AJPP stops:
- Upon completion of processing
- At the end of 3 years
- At the end of 310 days
In case of relapse, the right can be reopened. The duration of the duty period and the maximum number of daily allowances that may be paid shall be calculated from the initial date of entitlement.
FYI : in case of new pathology, a new right may be opened before the end of the 3 years.
Beyond 3 years
The right to the allowance can be reopened for 310 days and for a new period of 3 years in 2 cases:
- Pathology relapse or recurrence
- A presence always requires a sustained presence and compulsory care.
Renewal during the 3 year period
In case of new pathology, the right to AJPP can be opened for a new period of 3 years and for 310 days.
In addition, when the maximum number of daily allowances (310) is reached, the 3-year period may be renewed:
- For the same disease
- For the same disability
- Because of the accident to which the child was subjected
Thus, under certain conditions, a parent who has used the 310 days of AJPP may benefit without interruption 2 times more days of AJPP (or 620 days).
Entitlements and Date of Payment
The payment of the AJPP shall be made after review by the Caf or the MSA of AJPP Monthly Attestation. It specifies the number of days absent during the month. For employees, this certificate is completed by the employer.
In order to receive the supplement for expenses, a certificate on the honour indicating the amount of expenses incurred must be presented.
AJPP is due as of 1to day calendar during which your application is filed, provided that the conditions for entitlement to the right are met on that date.
It is paid on an overdue basis (January paid at the beginning of February, etc.).
The allowance ceases to be due on or after 1to day of the calendar month following the month in which the conditions are no longer met.
