This Monday, February 5, as usual on the 5th of the month, CAF pays family allowances, APL, RSA, activity bonus, Paje or other monthly benefits. But the amount collected this Monday may have changed compared to last month. Explanations.
A calendar story, to start. The transition to the new year, for CAF, materializes with the payments on Monday February 5. It is on this date that social and family benefits counting for the month of January 2024 are paid. The payment of January 5 was valid for the month of December 2023. This is why it is on the bank transfer of this Monday, February 5 that some of your CAF allocations may have changed.

A story of annual income, Next. It is on benefits counting for the month of January 2024 (and therefore paid this Monday, February 5) that the CAF has updated your resource conditions. Each fall, CAF recovers from the tax office your resources for year N-2 for the renewal of your rights or the calculation of your new rights. It is based on your 2022 categorical net income for your 2024 rights, against your 2021 resources in recent months.
You can check the difference between the 2021 and 2022 annual resources in your CAF.fr space: on My Account, click on My resources and you will find the annual resources (salaries, other income, deductible expenses) for each adult in the household. These resources must theoretically correspond to the income appearing on your last tax notice, that of the 2023 tax relating to 2022 income.
If your income has changed significantly between 2021 and 2022, up or down, this may cause you to change bracket in the CAF scales, and mechanically have a significant impact on your allowances or other CAF bonuses.
CAF transfer of February 5: will you be one of the winners or losers of 2024?
