Social Security generalizes an offer dedicated to the self-employed in difficulty

The Help system is based on the mobilization of the various social security funds (Urssaf, Caf, pension insurance, CPAM and health insurance social service) for the benefit of self-employed workers in difficulty. It makes it possible to combine the different action levers of each network (social benefits, social action, social support, payment schedules, etc.) to promote better access to rights, care and social assistance.

This system aims to respond to the various types of difficulties that many self-employed workers experience, without them seeking the aid to which they could claim. Urssaf has observed that the payment difficulties of self-employed workers sometimes arise from difficulties beyond its sole field of competence and can result from the strong intertwining between the professional and private lives of business leaders.

Help is therefore based on the overall detection of the weaknesses encountered by business leaders, craftsmen, traders and liberal professions from a situation of default of payment, recurring health problems, etc.

In practice, the self-employed worker responds to a single questionnaire (notably available via the link urssaf.fr/help) which allows each organization to study the situation of the insured person and then to determine the levers to be mobilized in his field of expertise – recovery, illness, family and retirement. The files are then processed in an accelerated manner in order to activate the appropriate systems (Solidarity health supplement, Active solidarity income, activity bonus, health and social action of the CPSTI, etc.).

First tested in the Marne department of Urssaf, the system will be gradually extended to the whole territory.
