It is due from 1er day of the month following birth of the child.
The basic allowance shall be paid every month for 3 years up to the month before 3e child's birthday.
Example :
If the child was born on February 15, the allowance begins to be paid on February 1er April to March.
In case of multiple births, the Cif pays you as many basic benefits as children born of the same delivery.
FYI
In the event of the death of the child, the basic allowance is automatically extended for three months after death. Parents may not be subject to any age or duration requirement. The payment of the basic allowance can therefore be maintained beyond the child's 3 years of age.
The basic pay allowance may be combined with the daily parental attendance allowance (DPA).
The basic allocation is not cumulative with:
- The family supplement
- The basic allowance for another child under 3 years of age
Indeed, the allocation is only allocated to one child at a time per family except for multiple births.
FYI
In Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique and Reunion, the basic allowance does not accumulate with family allowances and increases in such allowances paid in respect of a dependent child or with the family supplement.
