When do I get my first letter from CAF?

The procedure to obtain the different CAF aids can take some time, so you will have to be patient!

You should know that the delays can vary according to 2 criteria, the period when you submit your application and your department.

For example, if you submit your application in Île-de-France at the beginning of September, there is a a lot of chance that the processing time will be between 1 and 3 months.

If you submit your application in early July, chances are that the processing time will be between 7 days and 2 weeks.

We advise you to follow the status of your file every week in your personal space on the caf.fr

If you still haven't received anything after 3 months of waiting, we invite you to contact the CAF directly: I make an appointment with the CAF
