Publié le 03 septembre 2026 - Entreprendre Service Public / (Prime Minister)
You became a collaborating spouse before the 1ster January 2022? A change of status may be required. We explain why.
The status of collaborating spouse is limited to 5 years.
At the end of these 5 years, the spouse who continues to work regularly within the company must choose another status (employee or partner).
Persons declared as collaborating spouses before or on 1 January 2022 may retain that status until 31 December 2026 at the latest.
If you are concerned it is important to identify the new status that is best suited to your situation. THEUrssaf summarizes the procedures to be carried out before 1er January 2027.
