Who can be recipients?
Workers belonging to the general and to the special Social Security systems, whatever their gender, who take the leave provided for under law for the birth adoption or foster care of a child (preadoptiive, permanent or simple), provided that they fulfil the requirements.
In the case of birth, suspension only corresponds to the other parent. In cases of adoption or foster care, suspension will only correspond to one of the parents, at their choice; however, when one of the parents takes the whole of the maternity leave, the right to suspension for paternity can only be exercised by the other.
