Download CAF APK free on Android

Available from the App Store and the Google Play Store, the CAF application can be downloaded on smartphones and tablets. The app is the most secure and convenient way for the user to access their information. The user can thus download his payment certificates or consult the messages sent by his family allowance fund.

Manage personal information

On the CAF application, the user can consult his profile and modify it if necessary. He can thus find his family situation there (married, divorced, single, widower, etc.). Indeed, when a person moves in with another person, even under the regime of cohabitation, he must declare this state to the CAF via his platform. Without this declaration, CAF is entitled to claim an overpayment which may be substantial. The same applies to people who live under the PACS (Civil Solidarity Pact) or marriage regime.

If the two people are both recipients, their files are pooled under the same number. From the month following the beginning of their life together, their rights are recalculated taking into account the new family situation and the respective resources.

What about the professional situation (active, unemployed, in professional retraining, etc.)? The CAF calculates the amount of aid based on the income, the family situation, but also the professional situation of each member of the recipient’s household. If the information transmitted to the institution is incomplete, inaccurate or received late, the calculation of the beneficiary’s rights may be incorrect. He may not be able to benefit from all the benefits to which he is entitled or, on the contrary, aid may be paid to him wrongly and he will be obliged to reimburse them.

The payment of French family benefits is subject to a condition of residence of the parents and children in France for a period of more than 3 months. A stay outside France of more than three months or during the same calendar year is a valid reason for terminating the payment of family benefits.

The beneficiary is informed in real time of any change concerning his rights and his payments. An email warns him that new information is to be consulted on the CAF application. He no longer needs to wait to receive a letter from CAF to update his file. The user will directly receive essential information on his file to inform him of an important deadline for the pursuit of his rights. CAF can contact him more quickly than by post to send him useful information for the management of his file and his benefits.

The CAF application also allows you to make a declaration of pregnancy or the arrival of a newborn.

Our opinion on the CAF application

The CAF application provides simple, practical and secure access to information relating to the user’s beneficiary file. In order not to be considered invasive, the application asks the user for permission to access their files to allow them to attach supporting documents when necessary. The authorization request also extends to the state of the Wi-Fi network to check the connection status of the device and avoid any error.

The platform is very concerned with the security and respect of the user’s personal data. Thus, to connect, the user will have to use his social security number as well as his personal password. Its interface remains pleasant, as well as its handling. It is not for nothing that one recipient out of two uses it.
