The prime can be combined with all of the following:

- CICE (competiveness and employment tax credit)
Each civil quarter, you have to confirm on the website Sylae.asp-public.fr that the hired employed remain hired in the company by filling in a quarterly certificate of attendance. With the first certificate, you have to precise your bank information.
The prime is not managed by your URSSAF and shall not figure in your URSSAF declarations.
