Make your quarterly declaration to the CAF

Comité de la Démarche AccessibleProposed by Comité de la Démarche Accessible Updated on il y a 2 mois

If you receive the RSA (Active Solidarity Income), the AAH (Disabled Adult Allowance) or the activity bonus, you must inform the CAF (Family Allowance Fund) of your resources every 3 months.

This is the quarterly declaration of resources, which helps the CAF to calculate financial aid.

Part of the declaration is already completed (salaries, unemployment benefits, sick pay, disability or retirement pension, etc.). This information goes directly to the CAF.
The months to be completed are indicated: for example, if you file your declaration in April, the CAF needs to know the resources for December, January, and February.
The money sent by the CAF is called “prestation” or “aide” or “allocation”.
A person who receives financial assistance from the CAF is called an “allocataire”.

The quarterly declaration is not obligatory if you receive APL ( Personalized Housing Assistance), family allowances , AEEH (disabled child education allowance) or PAJE (young child care benefit).

How to do it?

Every 3 months, to remind you to make the quarterly declaration of resources, the CAF sends you:

You have 2 options for making the declaration:

Log in to the website or mobile app and open the message in the red box (this is the notification for the quarterly income statement).

1 - First check your personal and professional situation, your address and your bank details
If you need to change any information, click on the pen in the top right corner.

2 - Confirm your profile

3 - Check that the information already filled in are identical to the net social amount (MNS) on your documents (at the bottom of the pay slip and on your statements)
If there is an error, you can modify, delete or add information. The CAF will then verify these changes and ask you for supporting documents.

4 - Complete according to your situation:

  • if you are self-employed or self-employed: the gross turnover collected each month
  • if you received child support
  • if you received income from abroad: salary, aid, etc.
  • if you received income from movable capital: financial investments, savings account, passbook savings account, etc.
  • if you received other income: rental income from real estate, severance pay, holiday pay, etc.

5 - Check your entire declaration and press the pen if you need to change it.

What happens next?

Depending on the resources you have declared, the CAF will calculate and inform you of the amount of the allowance you will receive for the following 3 months.

The money arrives directly into your bank account.

RSA and the activity bonuses are calculated based on the resources received in the 4th, 3rd and 2nd month before your quarterly declaration.
For example, if you file your declaration in June, the CAF calculates your resources received in February, March and April.
In your first completed quarterly return, one month is the same as in your previous return. This will only happen once, not for subsequent returns.

If you have validated your declaration but there is an error, you must inform the CAF immediately.

If the error concerns your personal life (partnership, children, housing, etc.) or your professional life (new job, end of contract, etc.): you must log in to your personal space on CAF.fr or on the app. See the last step below.

If you prefer to go directly to a CAF agency , it is also possible to make an appointment.
To find the address and contact details of your CAF, go to the CAF.fr website , click on “My CAF” in the top right corner and enter your postal code (5 digits, for example: 95500) then click on “Validate”. You will be directed to the CAF page for your department. They are all different. In general, you can click on “Contact us” or “Reception points” to make an appointment.
The CAF has access to information from other administrations, such as the tax authorities. If you report different information or if you make a mistake, you must also report this to the CAF.
If the CAF sends you too much money in relation to your situation (an “overpayment”), it can ask you to repay it.
But be careful, if you fail to report an error, it may be considered "fraud." You could then be penalized.

If you forget to file your declaration before the deadline, your financial aid payment may be blocked.

The CAF releases the payment the month after receiving your quarterly declaration.

If your personal or professional situation changes, you must inform the CAF quickly on the website or on the application.

For example :

  • moving
  • departure abroad
  • change in family situation (birth, your child leaves home, marriage or civil partnership, divorce, etc.)
  • change in professional situation (unemployment, new job for you or your spouse, start of your business, etc.).
Don't forget to send your new bank details if you change your bank account.
