The asylum seeker’s allowance cannot be transferred or seized. For repayment purposes, in the event of undue payment, the French Office for Immigration and Integration may make deductions from future instalments due for any reason whatsoever. The amount of the deductions may not exceed a ceiling, determined in accordance with procedures laid down by regulation, except in the event of full repayment of the debt in a single payment if the beneficiary opts for this solution.
The blocking of current deposit or advance accounts may not have the effect of preventing the allowance from being seized.
