Temporary Disability Allowance (TIA) in the Public Service

Verified 01 January 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

An official who is temporarily physically unable to resume his duties may, subject to conditions, apply for the temporary invalidity allowance (TIA). We present you with the information you need to know.

Attention: the temporary invalidity allowance (TIA) is to be distinguished from Temporary Invalidity Allowance (TIA).

The Temporary Disability Allowance (TIA) is a benefit paid to you instead of your treatment in case of temporary invalidity.

You are concerned if you are a public servant.

Warning  

if you are a contract worker, you can request a social security invalidity pension.

As a public servant, you have to fill out all the following conditions:

  • You are physically unable to resume your duties
  • You are no longer entitled to sick leave or daily sickness benefits (coordination allowance)
  • You can't be retired for disability
  • You have a disability that reduces your ability to work by at least 2/3.

Warning  

if the disability is due to an accident or illness attributable to the service, you are entitled to a leave for temporary invalidity attributable to service (Citis).

You must complete the box dedicated to you in the following form, and then send it to your employer.

Application for recognition of the temporary invalidity of officials

Your employer, after completing the part that concerns him, sends the form to the medical service of the CPAM: titleContent to which you are affiliated.

Your request must be made:

  • Either on the date of expiry of your entitlement to paid sick leave (or to daily sickness benefits)
  • Either on the date of consolidation your injury or stabilization of your health

CPAM will forward your request, with its opinion, to your employer.

It shall give its opinion on the following points:

  • Recognition and determination of the rate of temporary disability
  • Awarding of the TIA from the date of expiry of the entitlement to paid sick leave or daily sickness benefits
  • Award of benefits in kind (reimbursement of treatment) from the date of consolidation of the injury or the date of stabilization of the official's state of health or the date of award of the invalidity allowance

CPAM places you in one of the following 3 groups:

  • 1er group: disabled person able to engage in gainful activity
  • 2e group: disabled absolutely incapable of exercising any profession
  • 3e group: totally incapable of exercising a profession and obliged to resort to the assistance of a third person to perform the ordinary acts of life

In the light of the opinions of the CPAM, the administration takes a decision recognizing the status of temporary invalidity. The latter clarifies the following points:

  • Degree of disability of the official
  • The starting point and duration of the disability
  • Benefits granted
  • TPIA rate

This decision shall be taken for a period of Maximum 6 months renewable under the same procedure.

The decision is notified at CPAM.
