Help! : Tailor-made support for the self-employed
Publié le 25 mars 2025 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The Urssaf allows self-employed workers and heads of company facing major financial, family, social or medical difficulties to benefit from free, adapted and individualized assistance named Help!

Support for self-employed workers in difficulty
Help! has been offering since 2022 free coordinated, accelerated and adapted care services for self-employed workers and heads of company (traders, craftsmen, micro-entrepreneurs, liberal professions) who encounter difficulties in paying due to financial, family or medical problems.
This mechanism is based on a collective mobilization of the Social Security, the Urssaf, the Family Allowance Fund (Caf), the Primary Health Insurance Fund (CPAM) and the Pension Insurance and Occupational Health Fund (Carsat). These different bodies combine their fields of action to best support the self-employed worker. This aid provides rapid and concrete solutions to the difficulties encountered.
Help! is therefore intended to support self-employed workers in:
- the payment of social contributions (social action, payment deadlines, modulation of contributions, etc.);
- studying their entitlement to social benefits (family allowances, housing subsidies, etc.);
- access to health and care;
- the study of their pension rights and the steps to be taken.
How do I get access to it?
Just fill out the questionnaire Help! related to your department, available on the Urssaf page for your region.
Once the questionnaire is submitted, the appropriate body will come back to you.
