Question 566 — family benefits

Summary

Mr. Bastien Marchive draws the attention of the Minister of Health and Access to Care to the situation of parents of seriously ill children. Supporting their child through illness very often involves an inability to fulfill all or part of their professional obligations, thus requiring them to request the allocation of the daily parental presence allowance (AJPP). Parents often have to wait several weeks, or even several months, to obtain this assistance while, at the same time, fixed charges and obligatory expenses must still be honored. Thus, in the exceptional renewal of the AJPP, the medical control service has two months to issue an explicit opinion, which may result in the termination of rights. He also emphasizes that in application of the social security code, the income taken into account for the calculation of family benefits subject to means testing are the net taxable income received by households during the reference calendar year, i.e. the penultimate year preceding the payment period. However, the existing gap between the resources taken into account for the calculation of aid (income from year N-2) and the material situation at the time of the aid request is, for parents having to face the illness of their child, often very serious. It would therefore appear appropriate to develop this framework which could be modeled on the method of calculation which regulates the allocation of active solidarity income, the activity bonus and the allowance for disabled adults (AAH) of working people, namely on the basis of a quarterly declaration of resources. Also, given the social issues involved in decorrelation between the real situation of the applicant for aid and the situation which is taken into account to assess his eligibility for this aid, he asks him where the systemic reform is to achieve the fair benefit, the real-time payment of social assistance as well as their payment at source.
