Understanding your child’s placement

You will be asked to make a financial contribution: this is calculated based on your income for eligibility for benefits (revenu déterminant unifié (RDU)). The remainder is covered by the state.

Your may also be charged for medical care that is not reimbursed by the social security system, as well as the costs of your child’s normal activities.

If you do not live with the other parent, the financial contribution will be requested from the parent the child was living with most recently and who receives family allowance, maintenance payments and possibly other income.

You will not be asked for a financial contribution if you receive financial assistance from the Hospice général.
