Do I need home insurance to receive housing benefit (CAF) ?

Your mandatory home insurance ! Indeed, in case of control, it can be asked, we explain you all that!
You should know that the CAF is obliged to check the accuracy of your declaration, and that this control is provided for in the law. A controller will therefore visit you at home, but may also summon you to the CAF offices.

You are therefore obliged to show the inspector all the documents he asks for, in particular

- Identity document, passport, residence permit
- Rental contract
- Home insurance contract,
- Water and electricity bills, etc. 
- School certificate
- Bank statement
- And all other supporting documents necessary for the study of your situation


Home insurance is a step that should not be neglected, you can be refused access to your home if you have not taken out insurance. Don't panic, we've found you a 100% online offer, which you can subscribe to in less than 5 minutes
