Can I use my previous social security number?

Hello mayita,

You can use the social security number given

to you in the past. If it was a temporary one but starting with a 2, you will keep it even when it will be certified.

If your rights were closed, you need to reapply for rights to the french social security system. You will find further information reading this topic "Using temporary SSN after it's validity".

There's no need to be registered with the Assurance Maladie to sign a french work contract and before starting a job, you can provide your temporary number to your employer.

The processing times vary depending on the type of files and the number of files being processed by your caisse primaire d'assurance maladie (CPAM).

Once your file will be processed, it will reactivate your number and then, you will be able to access the ameli account.

Have a nice day.
