Education

Any change of situation may affect your rights.
You must therefore declare such changes as soon as possible to your Fund.

My child is attending an educational establishment, what should I do?
- If your child is under 6 years of age or will reach the age of 6 after 31 March of the current school year, there is nothing to do.
- Children aged over 6 and under 21 years at the start of the school term receive in September a form which has to be completed by the school. If you do not receive this letter, it means that the Caisses Sociales have directly received the information from the school.

My child is following an apprenticeship scheme, a placement, a professional training contract, what should I do?
- You should send the Family Benefits Department:
  - His certificate of education
  - A copy of the apprenticeship contract
  - At the end of the school year, a form relating to their diligence which has to be completed by the child's employer.

My child has ended his / her education, what should I do?
- If your child has completed his/her schooling or ceased their education for a time or permanently, access to family allowances provided by C.A.M.T.I. ends.
- Moreover, as this situation affects your child's health insurance, you should contact our Medical Services Department.

My child is working while studying, can I continue to receive family allowances?
- A child may be paid to work in conjunction with their education. They cease to be dependent children as soon as their monthly gross income is more than 891.52€ for the current year.
- Consequently, access to family allowances provided by C.A.M.T.I. closes.

Up to what age are family allowances paid?
- Family allowances are paid until the month of the child's 21st birthday, provided that children are still in education.
- Please contact our Medical Services Department with regard to the child's health insurance thereafter.

If my child is gainfully employed during the school holidays, what do I need to do?
- If your child has a professional activity in the summer season, his/her revenue is neutralised and the payment of family benefits is not called into question, on the condition he/she resumes schooling for the coming school year.
- If, however, this activity follows the final years of schooling, payment of family benefits ends with the end of the first full month of your child’s professional activity.
- In case of any uncertainty as to your situation, please do not hesitate to contact our Family Benefits Department.
