:-) Good point Andrew - may help many of those who are currently 'under the radar'.....just sayin....:-)
Very relevant for many and most new arrivals. (Perhaps there hasn't been much interest as for those of us who have been working here and in the system for years it is of no interest! ;-)
Old news Hilary but nonetheless good news :-) Maybe you could consider changing the title of your post to make it more relevant e.g. Simplified Health Affiliation from 01 Jan 2016 or something like that....
This was posted on the Carte Vitale thread a couple of weeks ago:
As an EU citizen, you have automatic rights to join the CMU after only 3 months of stable residence in France - a lot has changed recently and new legislation came into effect on 01 January 2016 - essentially simplifying the whole process - that is if you are a bona fide resident e.g. proof of your tax returns, income, bills etc. If you are not working and therefore not paying and social security contributions if France, your quarterly contributions will be assessed and set according to any income you have over 9,611 € pa (as per 2016). Naturally, when you are in receipt of a UK State pension - you will be issued with an S1 which will negate the need for any contributions from you as the UK will pick up the tab.
This link will give you all the info you need:

Yes I think that I brought this up more than a week ago.....
No one seemed too interested!
But it is relevant.
IS it not?
