CAF assistance to help bridge the digital divide
Students or professionals, the digitalization of most of our daily tasks makes the use of digital devices essential. However, this need is not within everyone’s reach. This is due to the lack of financial means as well as high costs of computer hardware. This is where the digital divide comes from.
This problem being quite significant and disabling for French households, the CAF has once again decided to provide assistance. The objective is simple: promote the purchase of digital devices with a view to improving daily life. Especially since many administrative procedures are now done online for the fund.

Increase in this CAF aid: this good news awaits beneficiaries
How does this help work?
As we said earlier, this help depends on the departmental CAF. It is the latter which determines the eligibility criteria but also the amount of this financial boost. From one region to another, the rules are therefore not necessarily the same. However, it is generally presented as a loan which is not subject to any interest.
The reimbursement of this CAF aid is made between 24 and 36 months. It then allows French households to obtain up to 600 euros in financing. But this of course depends on the department. This amount applies in particular to Loire-Atlantique. If you live in Eure or Charente-Maritime, on the other hand, the amount will be 500 euros.
In addition to this assistance, the CAF offers students the opportunity to obtain: several hundred euros in addition. This is especially true if they are under 26 and are pursuing a higher academic course. The fund even offers donations of computer equipment in certain departments.
What are the criteria for obtaining assistance from the CAF?
As always, beneficiaries must meet an income criterion to obtain this assistance from the CAF. This time, the family quotient which must not exceed a threshold between 700 and 800 eurosThis helps to justify the lack of means in households and the possibility of a digital divide.
The presence of a child in the home is also part of the criteria for this CAF assistance. The assistance is then available until the child reaches the age of 26 in certain departments. You can of course contact the fund in your department to find out the precise terms of this financial assistance.
