Aid for adapting work situations (Agefiph)
Worth considering when a disabled employee or self-employed worker needs an adaptation linked to their work situation. The application must link the functional need, the proposed solution and its cost; specific renewal rules apply.
The Agefiph aid for adapting work situations aims to compensate for the effects of a disability on a specific job, to enable access to employment or staying in work. It is relevant when a technical, human or organisational need has been identified — not as general funding for equipment unrelated to the work situation. Before buying equipment or ordering a service, document the difficulties encountered and have the arrangement confirmed by the Agefiph.

Who can apply
Beneficiaries described in the catalogue: - Any employer of a disabled employee for whom the occupational physician certifies that the disability, its worsening or a change in the work context affects their fitness for the job; - Any disabled self-employed worker holding a medical opinion stating the difficulties in continuing their activity because the disability has worsened or arisen. Eligibility check to carry out: head office/establishment in the area indicated, activity and legal status, size/headcount, age and any exclusions. Check each criterion in the rules in force.
Eligibility conditions
Conditions taken from the catalogue: The application is made by the employer or the self-employed worker. Conditions for renewal: funding for equipment financed to adapt the job can only be renewed if the disability worsens, and/or the work situation changes, the equipment becomes obsolete due to technological change, or the equipment wears out where this represents an extra cost for the employer. Before applying, turn these conditions into a checklist and ask for confirmation of the current criteria, prior application, costs already incurred, combination and supporting documents.
What the scheme covers
Operations/costs described in the catalogue: Any means (technical, human or organisational) enabling access to or retention in employment by adapting the job, or funding specific preventive equipment. For the application, link each quote line to the eligible operation and separate out excluded costs. Do not commit costs before the funder has confirmed the rule on when work may start.
Amount and funding terms
Amount indicated in the catalogue: a grant covering 100% of the extra cost linked to compensating the disability when adapting the job: up to €80 an hour for human assistance services for people with hearing impairments (interpreting, communication interface, cued speech (LPC) coder); up to €13,009 (based on the SMIC of 1 November 2024) for professional assistant services; and on the basis of the actual cost borne by the company for the extra cost of specific preventive equipment such as inclusive masks. The aid is one-off but renewable if the disability worsens, the work situation changes, the equipment becomes obsolete due to technological change or wears out, where this represents an extra cost for the employer. If ongoing aid is needed, the company can apply for recognition of the severity of disability (RLH), giving access to the aid for the employment of disabled workers (AETH). The aid can be combined with general aid and other Agefiph aid. Key point: the rate/cap mentioned is catalogue, not a guarantee of award. Have the basis, calculation, available caps, combination rules and VAT treatment confirmed by the funder before finalising the financing plan.
How to apply
1. Describe the tasks that have become difficult and the effects on the job. 2. Gather the relevant information from the occupational physician, or the medical opinion required for a self-employed worker. 3. Have a detailed quote drawn up that separates out the extra cost linked to compensating the disability. 4. Contact the Agefiph before any commitment to confirm the documents, timetable and fundable share. 5. Keep quotes, opinions and proof of costs.
Timeline
No annual deadline is given in the catalogue data. Check with the Agefiph the order of application and commitment of costs before signing a quote. For a renewal, document the worsening, change in the job, obsolescence or wear causing an extra cost.
