Tim Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 We have been in living in France for over three years. My wife was working in England for one or two weeks a month and is on an extended E106 for our medical cover which expires September 2009.In November she was made reduntant by her company in the UK and is now looking for a new job in England. However, since November I have been doing work in France and making the usual payments into the French system. Can I assume that this will now cover us both in France should she not get another job in England for a while?Any thoughts anybody?Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 It depends on how many hours you have worked and how much you have paid into the system.There is a minimum level which you have to get to to become accepted into the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I thought as much. I am only working part time, but I am paying the cotisations. I will have to make some enquiries.Thanks for the info.Regards - Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinabee Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 You need to work the equivalent of at least 60 hours at SMIC within one month or 120 hours at SMIC within 3 months. Take all your payslips into the CPAM they will work it out for you, and at the same time you can request that your wife is covered as "ayant droit" (hope I spelled that right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
