      Principle

      The SSA amount shall be calculated taking into account:

      1. a lump sum payment that varies according to the composition of the household and the number of dependent children
      2. the resources taken into account by the household

      The calculation formula is as follows: lump sum - resources taken into account for the household.

      The guaranteed lump sum is increased. This increase is also called increase.

      This increased lump sum shall be granted from the month in which one of the following events occurs:

      • Declaration of pregnancy
      • Birth of child
      • Care of a child
      • Separation, widowhood

      The increased lump sum may be granted for 12 months, continuous or discontinuous, during a period of 18 months following the event.

      If your youngest dependent child is under 3 years of age, the increased lump sum is granted until the age of 3.

      Resources taken into account

      The SSA amount is equal to the difference between the lump sum and all of your resources. The amount of resources retained corresponds to the monthly average of the resources received during the 3 months preceding your request.

      Certain resources (RWA, daily allowances, housing allowances, family benefits, investment income, etc.) shall be taken into account, and others don't.

      If you get a housing aid or if you are hosted for free or proprietor of your accommodation, a lump sum is added to your resources. This package depends on the number of people in the household.
