Support and Challenge: German Bundestag Approves the Integration Act
20.07.2016
German Bundestag passed the Integration Act on July 7. The guiding principle on which the new legislation is based is that of “support and challenge”. Refugees who have good prospects of being allowed to stay permanently will be eligible to take integration courses and to take advantage of job and training opportunities sooner than before.

Those asylum seekers who refuse to take an integration course or who do not meet their duties to cooperate will have their benefits curtailed.
