Under the revised Asylum Act in force since 1 March 2019, the maximum duration of stay in federal centres is 140 days. Allocation to a canton has to take place at the end of this period. (Art. 24 al. 4 AsylG). The Confederation doesn’t allocate global subventions for the stay in the centers. People settled in cantons get global subventions. For these, the system of the SEM allows to filter how many lump sums have been perceived per asylum seekers since their entry date in Switzerland till maximum 365 days. <br />There is an identification number for the Subventions. For the centres, the SEM calculates the costs according to an estimated number of asylum seekers.
