/ Mom / Baby / Good news, the birth premium will now be paid sooner!

This Thursday, June 25, the National Assembly unanimously adopted a LR bill allowing parents to receive the birth premium from the 7th month of pregnancy.

This is news that should relieve many future parents! This Thursday, June 25, a bill brought by Les Républicains was adopted by the 47 deputies of the National Assembly. This legislative development will restore the payment of the birth premium to the 7th month of pregnancy. Previously, this premium was paid by CAF, two months after the birth of the child.

The goal is to allow parents to deal with birth purchases as soon as possible. "It is good from the start of maternity that the newborn needs a car seat to reach his first home", underlines Gilles Lurton, who launched the bill. For Christelle Dubos, the Secretary of State to the Minister of Solidarity and Health, the payment two months after the birth of the child has "something disturbing" Anticipating the payment also corresponds to "to an economic recovery logic", She underlined.

As for the amount of the bonus of 947 euros, it was paid to 45,600 beneficiaries, under a threshold of resources allowing up to the middle classes to collect it, every month in 2019, according to Christelle Dubos. Also, MoDem deputies included in the bill that the premium for birth and adoption would not have to be refunded in the event of the child's death, whether it occurred before or after birth .

As a reminder, the new legislation, which must be validated by the Senate, will come into force no later than March 31, 2021.

Here are the conditions of allocation:

  • "You meet the general conditions to benefit from family benefits.
  • Your pregnancy must be declared within the first 14 weeks to your Caf and to your primary health insurance (Cpam).
  • Your 2018 resources must not exceed the ceiling corresponding to your situation

The ceiling is higher if:

  • you live alone)
  • or if you live as a couple and each spouse had professional income of at least 5,404 € in 2018 "
