France

The French government grants Ukrainians the status of temporary protection, which includes the payment of asylum seeker benefits. The amount is paid monthly. The calculation is based on the following factors:

The payment is credited to a personal card account, which must be registered with the French Agency for Immigration and Integration (Ofii).

The Government of France also pays financial aid in the amount of 50 euros per month to French families hosting refugees from Ukraine.

    • composition of the family;

    • wages of the tenant.
