General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.
A dependent child under twenty may need a parent’s sustained presence and demanding care after a particularly serious illness, disability or accident. A parent can then look into parental presence arrangements.
A private-sector employee requests parental presence leave from their employer. The daily parental presence allowance, AJPP, is a separate application to the Caf or MSA.
The doctor treating the child prepares a certificate confirming the particular seriousness and specifying the demanding care, the arrangements for parental presence and the expected treatment duration. Ask for the documents appropriate to each application.
For AJPP, the medical certificate is sent in a sealed envelope with the application to the Caf or MSA. The fund then sends it to the medical assessment service of the child’s health insurance.
For a private-sector employee, the initial request to the employer is normally made at least ten days before the desired start and includes a certificate. The employer is informed at least 48 hours before leave days; no notice period is required if the child’s health suddenly deteriorates or a crisis requires your presence without delay.
The allowance award and leave arrangements depend on the applicable conditions. Contact the employer and relevant fund to prepare each step, without assuming one application covers both.
