Last week, the Saint-Martin proximity court examined a classic case of fraudulent obtaining of a residence permit which revealed a flaw in the system or "a lack of communication between administrations".
The respondent obtained a residence permit as a sick foreigner and received treatment on the French side. The general social security fund (CGSS) estimates the amount of care - or damage - at some 97 euros. She became a civil party and asks for reimbursement.
Except that this amount covers care provided between 2016 and 2020, i.e. between the date of obtaining the residence permit by the foreign national and the recent date on which the CGSS produced the sum in the file for trial on 11 June.
However, the individual's residence card has expired since 2018. In other words, the latter could not claim free care since 2018.
Obviously, the foreigners' department did not notify the CGSS that the person in question no longer held a valid residence permit. Otherwise, no agent at the CGSS took into consideration the information from the prefecture of Saint-Martin.
This type of situation is not a first. In the past, it has already been noted that CAF had continued to pay family allowances for several months to people who had been taken back to their country due to a lack of communication between the services of Saint Martin and those of the Guadeloupe. Or attention from them.
It was among other things to alleviate these difficulties and allow all the organizations / state services to work together in the fight against fraud, that COTAF had been set up in Saint-Martin, the territorial operational committee fraud. (soualigapost.com)
