CAF automatically allocates family allowances as soon as it becomes aware of a second dependent child.

If you have RSA:

All you have to do is indicate in your application for Active Solidarity Income (RSA) your number of dependent children to benefit from it.

If you don't have RSA:

• If you are already a "beneficiary" (i.e. registered with CAF) and wish to report a change in your family composition, you can do so online on your CAF account or by post by completing Cerfa n°11423 *06.
• If you are not yet a "beneficiary", you must send your child's birth certificate or a copy of the pages of your family record book by post to the CAF, along with the change of situation form available here (Cerfa n°11423*06) .

To find out the address of the CAF closest to you where you need to send your documents, you can use this online tool (indicate your postal code).

Allowances are paid monthly

The allowances to which you are entitled for February, for example, will be paid at the beginning of March.

The amount of allowances varies according to your resources.

For example, your income for 2019 will be taken into account to determine how much will be paid to you for the year 2021. Your income must not exceed a limit which varies according to your situation.

If you filled in your application for child benefits (and followed your file up with the CAF) when applying for asylum, you will then receive an additional amount for this period. The amount due to you will be added to your first payment.

Speak to your social worker if you have any questions about this.
