Active Solidarity Income (Safety Net): Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn if you qualify for monthly financial support if you are experiencing low income or are struggling as a self-employed worker.

The Active Solidarity Income (Safety Net) is a monthly financial payment designed to provide a basic level of support for people with limited resources.

Who it's for

This scheme is for individuals with low income. It specifically includes self-employed workers who may be struggling financially.

What you get

You receive a monthly financial payment to help cover your basic living costs.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to apply, but you must commit to regular paperwork. You are required to submit declarations regarding your income every three months to remain eligible.

The catch to know

If you are self-employed, the amount you receive is calculated using the income reported on your tax return from the previous year. This means your current financial situation might not be immediately reflected in the support amount.

How to apply

  1. Gather your recent income documentation and tax information.
  2. Visit the official CAF website.
  3. Complete the online application and declare your current income status.
  4. Monitor your account for any requests for additional documentation.
