You are automatically registered with France Travail because you are in one of the following situations:

• A beneficiary of the Revenu de Solidarité Active (RSA).
• You are a spouse, defacto husband/wife or civil partner of an RSA beneficiary. The RSA is a social benefit for a household: you are also a beneficiary of the RSA. You are therefore registered with France Travail, even if you work.
• Registered with a community aid project: in a Parcours Contractualisé Accompagnement vers l’Emploi et l’Autonomie (PACEA) or in a Contrat d’Engagement Jeune (CEJ).

Your current financial assistance will remain unchanged. You simply need to continue your usual procedures to receive it. For example:

• You are a young person enrolled in the “Parcours Contractualisé d'Accompagnement vers l'Emploi et l'Autonomie” (PACEA) or in the “Contrat d'Engagement Jeune” (CEJ). Your registration does not affect your benefits (ACEJ, PACEA). The conditions remain the same, and your contacts remain the same.
• You are an RSA beneficiary. The conditions for obtaining, keeping and paying your RSA remain unchanged. You must continue to declare your income every 3 months to your usual contacts.

You are automatically registered with France Travail because you are in one of the following situations:

• You have applied for the Revenu de Solidarité Active (RSA).
• Your spouse, defacto husband/wife or civil partner has applied for RSA. The RSA is a social benefit for a household: you are also a beneficiary of the RSA. You are therefore registered with France Travail, even if you work.
• You are looking for a job and have requested support from a community aid project.

What are the next steps?

1. The organization most suited to your situation will contact you shortly (France Travail, Conseil départemental or partners, Mission Locale...).
2. Together with an advisor, you will draw up a personalized report detailing the actions you need to take to find a job. These activities will be set out in a “commitment contract”.
3. Depending on your situation, you will need to update your information with France Travail monthly to remain registered and continue to benefit from our support and services.

Once you've registered, it is mandatory to “update” your details with France Travail monthly. This allows you to keep your rights to benefits, if you have any, and access to related support and assistance.

Updating your situation means that you are still looking for a job OR that you have found a job.

You must declare all salaried and non-salaried activities you have carried out during the month (fixed-term, permanent, temporary, entrepreneurial, training, etc.), and whether you have been on sick leave.

You can update your situation:

• on the Internet in your personal space,
• on the “My space” mobile application,
• by telephone at 3949 (no translation possible, only if you have a good command of French).
• or in an agency with the help of an advisor.

France Travail has access to information from other authorities, such as the tax authorities. If you declare different information or make a mistake, you must also inform France Travail.

If France Travail sends you too much money in relation to your situation (an “overpayment”), it has the duty to ask you to pay it back. But be careful: if you don't report an error, this is considered “fraud”. You could be penalized.

You must have a valid residence permit (i.e. unexpired) to remain registered with France Travail.

1. To do this, you need to renew your residence permit at least 3 months before it expires. You can do this on the Étrangers en France (ANEF) website, or at the prefecture, depending on your situation.

2. As soon as you receive your attestation de prolongation d'instruction (API) or your receipt, you must present it to the reception desk of your France Travail agency near your home.
3. When you get your final residence permit, you must also present it at the reception desk of your France Travail agency.
