Complementary health solidarity (ex-CMU-C)

Verified 01 July 2025 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

Complementary health and solidarity: simplified allocation for certain beneficiaries

The Social Security Financing Act for 2024 provides for a simplified allocation and an automatic renewal of the Solidarity Health Complementary (C2S) for part of those receiving the specific solidarity allowance (SSA) and the youth employment contract allowance (YCA).

An Order in Council will set the exact date for the coming into force of these amendments. In the meantime, the information presented on this page remains up to date.

Do you have low resources? The complementary solidarity health (C2S) helps you with your health expenses. It replaces supplementary universal health coverage (CMU-C). It allows you to get reimbursed the additional part of your health expenses. This means that this aid covers what is not reimbursed by the Health Insurance. C2S is free or paid for depending on your income. We explain the rules in metropolis and in the Dom.

      Complementary health solidarity (C2S): free or paid?

      Title: Complementary health solidarity (C2S): free or paid?

      C2S is a mutual society to help low-income households pay their health costs. It complements social security repayments.

      It can be free or paid (less than €1 per day and per person) according to:

      • Your resources (income and support)
      • Your age
      • The number of people in your household.

      Examples based on your resources:

      • For an adult, the complementary health solidarity is free for an income equal to or less than €10,399.
        It pays for income between 1€0,166 and €13,724.
      • For an adult and 2 children, the complementary health solidarity is free for an income equal to or less than €18,298.
        It is paid for income between €18,298 and €24,703.
      • For 2 adults and 2 children, the complementary health solidarity is free for incomes equal to or less than €21,348.
        It is paid for income between €21,348 and €28,820.

      You can move to a higher annual resource band if you are receiving housing benefits or if you are a homeowner.

      (Example: a household made up of a person earning less than €10,666 and a recipient of housing assistance shall have its resources increased by a lump sum. They now exceed €10,666 and the C2S becomes profitable).

      Outside the metropolis, the amounts are different. A simulator on Service-Public.fr allows you to evaluate your rights according to your situation.

      This power of attorney is done by logging into your Ameli account:

      The power of attorney is valid one month.

      Your representative must go to one of the reception points of the CPAM: titleContent with the following documents:

      Your representative will have to arrive at one of the reception points with the following documents:

      • Copy of your ID (national ID card or passport)
      • His own ID.

      Your health insurance body give you his decision no later than 2 months after receiving your request. If you don't get an answer for more than 2 months after your request, it means your request is accepted.

      The decision tells you, if necessary, the amount you have to pay to benefit from the complementary health solidarity.

      If you've received a refusal, you can challenge it. You have 2 months from the day you received the refusal (notification) to apply to the Amicable Appeals Board (CRA).

      You have been automatically switched to C2S on 1er January 2024.

      As the C2S is awarded for a period of 12 months, you will then have to apply for a renewal with the Social Security Fund of Mayotte (CSSM). This request is made 2 months before the end of your entitlement to C2S to continue to benefit without interruption. This request is made via the C2S form.

      You must be in any of the following :

      • You must reside in France without interruption for more than 3 months
      • You benefit from a compulsory social security scheme because you have a professional activity in France that lasts more than 3 months
      • You are enrolled in an educational institution in France
      • You are doing an internship in France under cooperation agreements or a vocational training internship for a period of more than 3 months
      • You receive certain benefits (family benefits, allowances for the elderly, housing allowances, social assistance, replacement income, allowance for disabled adults, etc.)
      • You have volunteered internationally abroad and are not entitled to health insurance in any other way.

      Please note

      If you are homeless, you can get a administrative address.

      The application is made to the Social Security Fund of Mayotte (CSSM).

      In the form you have the possibility to choose between a management of your C2S right by the CSSM or by a complementary body (mutual insurance company, insurer, provident institute) authorized to manage this right.
