Responsibilities and access to rights for beneficiaries of temporary protection

Ensuring predictable access to core rights for people fleeing conflict and persecution is essential for safeguarding protection standards across the EU. This inform provides a comparative overview of how Member States organize accommodation, medical care, education, social assistance, and labour-market access for beneficiaries of temporary protection. It outlines national frameworks, recent legal and policy adjustments, and emerging approaches linking benefit entitlements to participation in work, education, or integration activities. The analysis also highlights increasing debates on financial contributions for accommodation or services, with safeguards for vulnerable groups. Differences in implementation – such as varying duration of State-provided housing, levels of healthcare coverage, or targeted subsidies – are examined alongside good practices that support self-reliance and social inclusion. The EMN inform further maps options for transitioning from temporary protection to alternative residence permits. Overall, it offers up-to-date evidence to guide policymakers in preparing for the next phase of temporary protection and future long-term solutions.
