Our family has just emigrated abroad. Can we continue to claim family allowances given that we are all Swiss nationals?

Swiss nationality alone, whether held by the parents and/or their children, does not guarantee automatic entitlement to a Swiss family allowance. The main eligibility criterion for these benefits is that one parent is gainfully employed in Switzerland. However, a parent who is posted abroad by an employer headquartered in Switzerland, under certain circumstances, may also be entitled to claim a Swiss family allowance.
