Question 38492 — foreigners

Summary

Ms. Isabelle Santiago draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of Solidarity and Health, responsible for children and families, to the impossibility for certain unaccompanied minors entrusted to child welfare to open bank accounts. The departments, in accordance with the law, take care of unaccompanied minors (UMAs) under child welfare (ASE), once the assessment process has been completed. completed and these young people are recognized as unaccompanied minors. They are then supported by semi-autonomy systems corresponding to their needs and supported by an educational team. And, alongside their accommodation, the department pays financial allowances to cover their food, hygiene and transport expenses, while they take the time to obtain an apprenticeship contract or find a job. However, the integration path towards regularization comes up against the refusal of banks to create bank accounts for them, which prevents them from receiving their remuneration and leads the ASE to maintain financial aid in cash. It even happens that the impossibility of providing a bank identity statement to their employers leads them to lose their job. This refusal by the banks is motivated by the absence, for these young people, of a consular file, of passport or identity card. Therefore, the intervention of the Government is required, in order to find a favorable outcome to these situations by authorizing the opening of bank accounts in support of the court decision, the ASE certificate and a civil status certificate such as a birth certificate. This approach is also part of the context of the elimination of cash (“Zero Cash” project) and the desire to provide greater security the reshuffling of public funds. She therefore calls on him to take the necessary measures to enable the integration of these young people.
