You will then be attached to the general scheme on an occupational basis.</p><p>To know how to be covered by the French healthcare system, I advise you to read this answer, available on the forum: "<a href="https://forum-assures.ameli.fr/questions/1822056-new-to-france-healthcare">New to France - Healthcare?</a>".</p><p>You cannot use your irish social security number.</p><p>The contact details of your CPAM are available in the <a href="https://www.ameli.fr/assure/adresses-et-contacts/un-autre-sujet" target="_blank">"Addresses and contacts"</a> section of the ameli website.</p><p>Have a nice day. </p></div> <div class="body-ft"></div> </div> Mon, 26 Oct 2020 08:33:58 GMT https://forum-assures.ameli.fr/questions/2482740-irish-student-erasmus-in-france-looking-to-get-social-security-number/answers/6039535 https://forum-assures.ameli.fr/questions/2482740-irish-student-erasmus-in-france-looking-to-get-social-security-number/answers/6039535 6039535 answer 0 https://forum-assures.ameli.fr/users/10026968 https://dimelo-users-production.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/identity_avatars/a0e544dede82abf6/avatar_normal.png?3389a2e 2482740 <div class="body "> <div class="body-hd"></div> <div class="body-bd"><p>I have started working here in France in a part time job along with my studies. However, in order for my boss to finalise my contract in work they need my social security number. I have applied for the social security number through the student page on ameli.fr but I am not sure if this will work and would like to know how long it will take? Otherwise, can I use my Irish social security number or do I have to have a provisional French social security number for employment purposes?</p></div> <div class="body-ft"></div> </div>
