Financial Support for Refugees
The Swiss government provides refugees with a monthly allowance to cover basic living expenses. This allowance is called "Sozialhilfe" in German, "Aide sociale" in French, or "Aiuto sociale" in Italian. The exact amount varies depending on the individual's circumstances.
Additional Support
Besides the monthly allowance, refugees may also receive other support, such as:
- Housing assistance
- Medical care
- Language courses
- Integration programs
