Individuals caring for elderly parents can apply for a monthly allowance if the parent is deemed sociomedical dependent and a contract is signed with social services. The allowance is calculated as half of the caregiver's gross salary and is not added to the parent's pension. Eligibility requires the caregiver to work part-time and the elderly parent to undergo an official evaluation. The application process involves submitting various documents to the local social assistance service, which includes a social investigation and contract signing. The allowance is distinct from disability benefits and is subject to local budget availability.
