4.6 Social welfare If you are a salaried employee at the time of your registration, you must produce an employment contract covering the whole of the academic year (1 October to 30 September of the following year). A minimum of 120 hours of paid work every quarter is required. You will be affiliated to the Social Security ‘régime général’, which provides social security cover for people in paid employment. If your employment contract does not cover the whole of the academic year, or if you are not a salaried employee at the time of your registration, you must affiliate yourself to a student social security scheme. To do this, all you have to do is to choose one of the following ‘mutuelles’ (mutual insurance companies): La Mutuelle des Étudiants (LMDE) >> www.lmde.com/ SMEBA >> www.smeba.fr These student ‘mutuelles’ manage both the compulsory social security and the supplementary ‘mutuelle’ elements of health insurance. If you get an employment contract during the current academic year, you can ask for a reimbursement of the part covered by your employment contract at the Caisse Primaire d’Assurance Maladie (CPAM) by sending it photocopies of your employment contracts and your student card together with a RIB (‘relevé d’identité bancaire’ – bank account details). Doctoral students aged 28 and over on 1 October can also be affiliated to and pay subscriptions to the student social security scheme when their degree course has been interrupted. An extension of the age limit up to the age of 32 is also authorised for doctoral students registered in the first year of their doctorate before the age of 28. There are also other instances where application for exemption can arise, e.g. for those in receipt of free CMU health care, and means-tested grant holders. For further information contact the Research Service. Grant-aided doctoral students who are not exempted during the administrative registration can go to one of the regional offices of URSSAF (social security contribution collection agency) or can write to URSSAF to obtain a repayment. In the event of accidents at work, whatever your status, salaried employee or not, you must fill in a school and university work accident declaration (in accordance with CERFA n°60.3682) with the Research and Administration Services. 23 http://www.lmde.com/ http://www.smeba.fr
