Paternity benefits eligibility under french contract who will be completing only 5 months of service ?

Hi Vivek,

You must have been affiliated for 6 months to the Assurance Maladie when your child is born in order to claim for paternity leave.

Unfortunately, because of safety and confidentiality issues, we can’t reach any of your information or file from this forum.

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).

If you need help regarding this request, you can contact the CPAM’s English or French Advice Lines.

More information in the following topic: How to call the French Health Insurance Advice Lines?

if you need more information, please look at this article entitled : "Congé de paternité et d’accueil de l’enfant en cas d’hospitalisation de l’enfant" from our website ameli.fr. 

Have a nice day
