So, am I and our children entitled to a social security number? Could I claim any child benefits/support? I currently pay in full to go to the doctor, I have kept all the documents on what I've paid, could I be reimbursed? We all have a european health insurance card and I now have a french bank account.

Many thanks
Hi!

Can you get an E106? - that would give you coverage for you and your children ( but only for a maximum of 2 years ) without working.

Unfortunately you have missed the coach. If you had done it right at the beginning, you would have been able to stay in the French Health Insurance without working, just paying a small contribution ( means tested ).

But now, if you do not work, after theE106, you will be required ( unless you work ) to contract a private health insurance for you and your children - An that will cost at least Euro 3000 just for you - what comes on top of that for the chuldren I do not know - it will depend on the company.

Yours,
