Key legal question
Whether an asylum seeker is available for placement for unemployment insurance purposes before a final asylum decision exists.
Extracted holding
Subject to the other statutory requirements, an asylum seeker is to be regarded as available for placement until the asylum decision becomes final.
Extracted reasoning
Asylum law allows the applicant to remain in Switzerland until the asylum procedure is concluded and, after the initial work ban, to work subject to authorization; this supports employability up to the final asylum decision.
