CAF: He was asked to reimburse €6,500, justice said “no”

Why did CAF request a reimbursement of €6,500?

The story takes place in Pont-Saint-Martin (Loire-Atlantique) in 2016. The CAF of the region had indeed noted a change in the situation for this young woman. She had reunited with the father of her child. According to Actu.fr, “the applicant maintained a “marital life” with a companion, while it was “not disputed” that she said she was living “isolated” two years earlier. »

CAF thus wanted to question the reality of their separation during these 5 years. From 2011 to 2016. To do this, she asked the young woman to repay €6,500 in personalized housing assistance (APL) and social housing allowances (ALS).

A completely unjustified decision for the beneficiary. However, CAF investigated the situation of the young woman. This request for reimbursement would come after “testimonials from neighbors”. These would have provided proof that the two spouses were still living together during this separation.
