Article L553-2 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

A decree defines the scale of the asylum seeker’s allowance, taking into account the resources of the person concerned, the method of accommodation and, where applicable, the services offered by the place of accommodation. This scale takes into account the number of adults and children making up the asylum seeker’s family and accompanying the asylum seeker.
This decree also specifies the procedures for payment of the asylum seeker’s allowance.
It may provide for the amount of the asylum seeker’s allowance and its allocation, calculation and payment procedures to be adapted to take account of the specific situation of overseas departments and collectivities.
