What should be known on the reform of the childhood assistance mode scheduled for September 2025

A measure made to measure taking into account the reality of families

From 1 September 2025, the “remuneration” cmg will no longer be a rigid package, but a personalized device. Inspired by the nursery school model, the new incorporate calculation Real domestic resources,, The number of children dependent,, The real time cost of the guard AND The number of hours actually performed. Therefore, every hour of childhood assistance is taken into consideration: progress in social justice for parents who do not use a traditional nursery.

The rigid ceilings fall: they finished the minimum of 15 % remaining employee and the old ceiling based on a minimum salary of 5 hours disappears. Result: modest families, those with several children or those who use frequent programs will see their rest.

Better to consider the size of the family

The reform does not stop at the calculation. It also reconstructs the admissibility:

• Isolated parents : Until then confined to help up to 6 years of the child, they will now be able to benefit from the CMG up to 12 years, from September 2025.
• Alternative residence : Already in December 2025, each of the two parents will be able to touch their cmg, without prejudice to an effective sharing of the family allowances and a declaration to the CAF. This represents a real profit for greater autonomy in the organization.

A safety network to avoid cuts

The transition to the new cmg could induce some houses to lose support, in particular those with medium budget or that have used a few hours of assistance. For them, an automatic transitional supplement is set.

This help concerns families who declared a minimum hour threshold (between March and May 2025) and whose income does not exceed a certain roof (about € 53,119 net for a child). Complete help up to 90 % of the real costlimiting the painful fall into the wallet.

What parents have to do since the beginning of the school year

1. No approach if you are already a beneficiary: The reform will apply automatically, with a new calculation visible from October 2025.
2. New beneficiaries : a simple request through Caf.fraccessible from September for isolated parents and from December for alternate parents.
3. Monthly statements Imperative: For cmg be faithful to your situation, remember to declare the number of hours of care every month.
4. Monitor the CAF/URSSAF space : a simulator will be made available to anticipate your situation

A reform that promises more equity, but also a supervision

This reform marks a remarkable progress: puts the CMG at the center of concrete needs, aligning help with the hours actually used and the precise resources of families. It also evaluates long situations on the left on the edge: prolonged single parentality, balanced co-driver. And do not forget those who would be penalized by the transition thanks to its transition network.

But this customization has a contrary: The amount of the aid may vary considerably from one month to the otherAnd families will have to anticipate with rigor. The next simulators will be essential not to be surprised.

In short, the 2025 cm reform creates the level of requirement – for parents and for the system. Draw the right and more agile help, provided that the information circulates well and that each appropriates available. An appointment not to be missed for interested families.
