Résumé
Messages for Decision-Makers
Independence from social assistance is now a preponderant criterion to assess the legally required “integration” of foreign nationals in Switzerland.
—
The implementation of the legislation that targets foreign nationals receiving social assistance intertwines the inherently different competences and objectives of each administration and makes their procedures more complex.
—
For recipients of social assistance, this complexification can lead to potentially contradictory expectations and advice. Such mixed messages can generate further economic and legal status precarization.
