Social welfare centres in Belgium, by city

Ask at the centre of the municipality where you live

Larger cities have several service points, spread over different neighbourhoods. Some want an online request first, others hold drop-in sessions on set days, and a few hand out numbered tickets that can run out early. Find your city to see how its centre works before you head there.

  • Mons

    CPAS de Mons — Accueil Social

    Place Nervienne, 7000 Mons

    Come to the social reception on weekdays or book an appointment, and tell staff if your need is urgent.

    Office website+32 65 412 300

    Bring identity and bank cards, information about everyone living in your home even if not registered there, and evidence of household income, assets and expenses. Take your lease and rent-payment evidence. For integration income, bring Forem registration or evidence of incapacity for work as applicable; staff also check health-insurance membership and other potential rights. Ask which further documents your case requires, including the period your bank statements should cover.

  • Mons

    CPAS de Mons — Antenne de Cuesmes

    Place de Cuesmes 3, 7033 Mons

    Phone ahead to ask when a social worker can see you and how to lodge a first request.

    Office website+3265408545

    Describe your needs, any urgent deadline and whether you already have a CPAS (public social welfare centre) file. Keep relevant notices or bills available and ask which identification, household, income, asset, expense and housing evidence your assessment needs. Follow the worker’s instructions for a formal application and retain any receipt; a general enquiry is not automatically a completed claim.

  • Mons

    CPAS de Mons — Antenne de Jemappes

    Avenue du Roi Albert 673, Le Phare, 7012 Mons

    Call before travelling, because the Jemappes team keeps its own arrangements, separate from the main reception.

    Office website+3265408200

    Describe your needs, any urgent deadline and whether you already have a CPAS (public social welfare centre) file. Keep relevant notices or bills available and ask which identification, household, income, asset, expense and housing evidence your assessment needs.
