You are considered a single parent if you are a pregnant woman or if you have at least 1 child or 1 dependent and that you find yourself alone following a life event. This is the case, for example, if your spouse dies or if you separate.
You can then benefit from an increase in the amount of the RSA. This increase is also called increase.
The duration of this increase varies according to the date of occurrence of the event:
- If the event occurs after the 3-year age of the dependent child, the increase lasts 12 months and must be paid within 18 months of the date of the event. This type of event must be reported to your CafCaf : Family Allowance Fund within 6 months of its occurrence.
- If the event occurs before the child's 3 years of age, the increase lasts until the child's 3 years of age.

Warning
These amounts are indicative data and may vary according to your personal situation. Use the simulator in order to obtain a more accurate estimate.
Resources taken into account
The SSA amount is equal to the difference between the lump sum and all of your resources. The amount of resources retained corresponds to the monthly average of the resources received during the 3 months preceding your request.
Certain resources (RWA, daily allowances, housing allowances, family benefits, investment income, etc.) shall be taken into account, and others don't.
If you touch a housing aid or if you are hosted for free or proprietor of your accommodation, a lump sum is added to your resources. This package depends on the number of people in the household.
Number of persons at home | Accommodation Package |
|---|---|
1 | €76.28 |
2 | €152.57 |
3 or more | €188.80 |
Example :
For a couple with 2 dependent children receiving housing assistance and family allowances, the amount of the RSA is equal to €997.66 (€1,334.98-€148.52-€188.80).
Please note
if another person pays your rent, you receive a benefit that results in a lump sum valuation deductible from the SSA amount.

After your file has been reviewed by the department, you will receive a notification for a period of 3 months. The qualifying period is the quarter prior to the quarter in which you receive the RSA.
The RSA is paid to you from 1er the day of the month in which you filed your application. It is paid monthly, in due course by your department's FAC: for example, the RSA for the month of March is paid in April.
The RSA is not taxable.
FYI
advances may be granted by the department to ensure that the award procedure does not delay the payment of the RSA.
Since 1er january 2025, SSA beneficiaries are enrolled in France Travail (formerly Pôle emploi).
This listing is obligatory and automaticHowever, there is no action to be taken.
Registration for France Travail has no impact on the payment of the RSA.
You should continue to file your quarterly income tax return with the FCA indicating any changes in circumstances that could impact your SSA payment.
You must sign a contract of employment including an action plan specifying your objectives for social and professional integration.
It is the employment contract that will determine the level of intensity of support for each person and the number of hours of weekly activity that must be completed by the jobseeker.
As part of this, RSA beneficiaries are expected to work 15 to 20 hours per week.
These 15 to 20 hours of activity can include the following:
- Immersion in company to refine your professional project
- of obtaining a driving license
- taking steps to access rights
- participation in activities in the voluntary sector.
Some SSA beneficiaries may benefit from a reduction in the number of hours to be worked if they are facing difficulties in their personal and family life (disability, single parent disability of a child under 12).
FYI
The President of the Departmental Council may decide to suspend, in whole or in part and for a period which he shall determine, the payment of the RSA where, without legitimate reason, the beneficiary refuses to draw up or update the contract of employment or fails to comply with all or part of the obligations set out in that contract.
Since 1er march 2025, your quarterly online resource report is evolving.
Now your wages, replacement earnings or other benefits (unemployment, pensions, pensions, sick leave, etc.) are pre-filled net social amount for your entire hearth.
You must review your pre-filled resources, validate them and, if necessary, complete your return with your other resources collected over the period (child support for example).
With pre-fill, the calculation of RSA entitlements is based on resources from months M-2 to M-4, and no longer on those of months M-1 to M-3. For example, for the March 2025 statement, the pre-filled resources are those for November 2024, December 2024 and January 2025.
You can check your pre-filled declaration of resources on the Caf website:
RSA - Verify your quarterly pre-filled return
For more information on the pre-filled declaration of resources, you can contact your local credit union.
Warning
In the event of a change of residence, family or professional situation, you must inform your CafCaf : Family Allowance Fund. If you no longer qualify for the SSA, the payment ceases from 1er the day of the month when you no longer fill them out.
Obligation to seek employment
If your household resources are, on average, less than €500 per month, you must:
- looking for a job,
- or take the necessary steps to create your company,
- or follow the insertion actions that are offered.
These obligations are set out in your personalized project for access to employment (PPAE)established with your France Travail adviser (formerly Pôle emploi).
You may not refuse more than 2 reasonable job offers as defined in your PPAE.

The SSA amount is equal to the difference between the lump sum and all of your resources. The amount of resources retained corresponds to the monthly average of the resources received during the 3 months preceding your request.
Certain resources (RWA, daily allowances, housing allowances, family benefits, investment income, etc.) shall be taken into account, and others don't.
If you touch a housing aid or if you are hosted for free or proprietor of your accommodation, a lump sum is added to your resources. This package depends on the number of people in the household.
Number of persons at home | Accommodation Package |
|---|---|
1 | €76.28 |
2 | €152.57 |
3 or more | €188.80 |
Example :
For a couple with 2 dependent children receiving housing assistance and family allowances, the amount of the RSA is equal to €997.66 (€1,334.98-€148.52-€188.80).
Please note
if another person pays your rent, you receive a benefit that results in a lump sum valuation deductible from the SSA amount.
