Allocation d'aide au retour à l'emploi (ARE) pour intermittents: Who Qualifies
Learn how artists and technicians in France can access daily unemployment allowances based on their previous earnings and work hours.
This scheme provides financial support to artists and technicians during periods when they do not have active work contracts.
Who it's for
This is designed for intermittent workers in the performing arts and entertainment sectors. To qualify, you must have completed at least 507 hours of work within the previous 12 months.
What you get
You receive a daily unemployment allowance. The specific amount you receive is calculated based on your previous earnings.
What it costs you
There is no direct financial cost to apply, but it requires significant administrative effort. You must maintain strict and precise tracking of your "cachets" (payment slips) and every hour you have worked.
The catch to know
The system relies heavily on precise reporting. Missing even a single hour of declaration in your records can lead to significant delays, potentially pushing your payments back by several weeks.
How to apply
- Gather all your documentation regarding hours worked and payments received.
- Ensure all your work hours are accurately recorded and ready for declaration.
- Register with the national employment agency via their website.
- Follow the specific instructions provided on the official portal: https://www.francetravail.fr
