ca veut dire quoi? vous n'avez pas d'avis?

Hi Artsole, Coincidentally just 2 days ago I was given your name by someone from another forum, as being someone who knows about things like MDA.  So maybe I can add my query too if you guys don't mind. We're English, but lived in Greece for 6 years prior to coming to France last November.  Peter, my partner, is the painter and he earned his living from that in Greece.  Unfortunately, due to bad advice from his accountant there he didn't pay his self employed contributions in 2007 so had no E106 when we came here.  He has done the biz at the Hotel des Impots, got his siren and siret numbers, registered with the MDA and been given a reference number by them.  So far so good.  But, how do we get him into the social security system?  It seems he has to have a social security number but how does he get that?  We've been to the CPAM and they have tried to be helpful but we keep coming up against brick walls. I am covered and have my carte vitale as I'd paid all my contributions in Greece but I can't have him added to my card because of his not having paid contribs in 2007.  In Greece he was paying about 160 euro a month into their system for health and pension and was fully expecting to do the same thing here.  He's more than happy to pay but we can't figure out what to do.  I'm a bit nervous in case he needs any health care as he's not insured (yes, I know that we're being a bit stupid on that one).  We made enquiries about getting private health insurance but even that seems difficult as we can't find a French insurance who will offer full cover, just the complementaire. By the way, for registering with the MDA we just printed a form they had on-line and sent it with an invoice for a painting that he'd sold.  They wrote back with a reference number but they also are asking for his social security number. When he first registered at the Hotel des Impots we (I keep saying 'we' as he's not the French speaker in the partnership!) asked about social security and the offical told us it would all happen automatically. Like Meg, all Peter wants to do is paint and be legal - it's a bit frustrating at the moment.  Any help/advice you can give will be very gratefully received.   Merci mille fois. Pam
