Social Security - E forms - General overview

The E 106 form must be given to the social security authorities in the country in which you will be working on a temporary basis to allow you access to health care and reimbursement of the cost of treatment identical to that provided to members in that country.

As regards unemployment benefit, if in France you are eligible for return to employment benefit and you then wish to find a job in another Member State of the EU, the EEA or in Switzerland, you should obtain the E 303 form from your local Pole Emploi agency. You will then have seven days to present this form to the unemployment authorities of the State in which you wish to find a job. You may then receive French unemployment benefit for three months paid through the institutions of the State you have moved to.

To provide evidence of periods worked in France to the authorities in a Member State of the EU, the EEA or in Switzerland, you need form E 301. In France, this form is issued by the DDTEFP (Departmental Directorate for Labour, Employment and Vocational Training). It will indicate the periods of employment during which you paid social security contributions in France.
