Allocations familiales
Family allowance
Paid every month from your 2nd child onwards — up to €304/month for 3 children.
Start application →Family allowances (Allocations Familiales) are paid by the CAF to households with at least two dependent children under 20. Nearly 4.8 million families receive them. The amount depends on the number of children and the household's income (income-based modulation since 2015). The allowance is automatically maintained for children who are students, apprentices, or in training, until age 20.

- you reside in France in a stable manner
