Excellent news to start the year! The CAF has just increased the ceilings which give access to this aid for parents. From now on, more households will be able to touch it. For those who already benefit from it, the amount of the allowance will increase. All the details here!
This help from CAF to support parents
The arrival of a child is a wonderful event! The mother waited 9 long months to give birth to him. However, this immense joy can be accompanied by some constraints. For example, this represents additional expenses !
For young parents, fortunately, they can request financial support from CAF. This is particularly the case of the Welcoming service for young children (PAJE). Enough to ensure this new stage of life with serenity.
At the heart of the PAJE, we find two main allocations. First of all, a birth bonus in the amount of 1066 €. It comes to us from CAF before the end of the month following the sixth month of pregnancy. Enough to cover the first expenses linked to the baby’s arrival.

Good news, this aid from CAF is increasing: 5 million employees affected
In addition to this bonus, CAF pays a monthly allowance until the child is 3 years old. The amount of this is 193 € or 97 € depending on the couple’s income.
This condition must be respected to benefit from it
Like any other CAF aid, specific criteria must be met to receive PAJE. In particular, resource conditions. Moreover, the amount of allowances depends on these income ceilings. If these are exceeded, the amount decreases! Worse still, the couple may lose their aides.
-Let’s take the example of a couple with two incomes who welcome their first child. To benefit from PAJE aid (€97), their annual income must not exceed 48 186 €. If the couple has only one income, this ceiling drops to 36 461 €.
These amounts then change depending on the number of children. For a second child, 55 478 € et 43 753 €. For a third, 64 229 € et 52 504 €. If it is to request the maximum PAJE allowance (€193), the ceilings are even stricter! A detail to take into account for young parents.
Good news in 2025 from CAF
