My husband and daughter (both UK citizens) have been waiting for 18 months for a French social security number. We have provided all documents 3 times and have been in contact with the “Service consolidation” /Mediateur since November last year who has only asked for more of the same documents.
I have been given a number as have our 2 other children.
Without a SS number for my husband, i am taxed as a single parent and we cannot claim back any medical expenses we have incurred to date.
We really don’t know where to turn to and are getting desperate. Any advice would be very gratefully received.
We are in Martinique and have CGSS and not CPAM - i think that’s the equivalent…
As requested by the “mediateur”, we completed a “Questionnaire “recherche de droits”
ressortissants européens inactifs” in November with all accompanying documents (which had already been provided numerous times).
In March, the Mediateur came back to us asking for my annual pay slips which have since been provided. We were told that for our daughter SANDIA was working on validating the request. Despite numerous efforts to contact the Mediateur, we’ve had nothing since then…
Apparently the nationality of my daughter and husband had been incorrectly noted in their system but that was corrected at the end of last year.
As Simon has suggested… is there a local office of CPAM…where you can talk things through, not just to exchange paperwork, but to find someone who can possibly identify the hiccup.
What do they say at your Mairie… sometimes the Mairie can cut through baffling red-tape/confusion…

They are very helpful.
