The practical guide to the identification of RSA beneficiaries during their professional integration

The occupational integration of beneficiaries of RSA (Income from Active Solidarity) is a major issue for the departments, which are responsible for supporting these people in their return to employment. One of the key tools for monitoring and engaging beneficiaries in their integration journey is the identification. Much more than a simple administrative formality, the registration allows to follow the attendance and participation of beneficiaries in the different actions planned in their insertion path. This is a practical guide to legislation, the role of departments, and good practices for effective registration.

The RSA was designed to support people in financial difficulties, while encouraging them to embark on a vocational integration path. In return for the allowance paid, RSA beneficiaries must follow specific procedures (personalized support, appointment with a referee, internships, reintegration workshops, etc.). The commitment allows to trace these steps and to ensure that each beneficiary respects its commitments.

💡 Legal aspects to remember:

• The departments, as managers of the RSA, are responsible for the implementation and follow-up of the insertion actions.
• The paper or digital form of the payment allows to verify the actual presence of beneficiaries at each stage of their journey.
• It is a legal document that can be requested in case of control, to justify the maintenance of RSA allocations.

The attendance monitoring through the registration is also essential to decide on the evolution of the integration path. In the event of repeated unwarranted non-compliance, the department may reassess the situation and take action such as suspension of RSA.

The departments play a central role in steering the insertion schemes. Each RSA beneficiary is followed by a contact person who coordinates the various actions to be taken to promote his or her return to employment. Whether it is reintegration workshops, appointments with employment counsellors or work placements in enterprises, the attendance of beneficiaries must be rigorously monitored. This is where the importance of the label comes into play.

Attendance monitoring: a tool for accountability

The commitment, by recording the participation of beneficiaries at each stage, allows to assess their level of commitment. Regular training indicates a willingness to participate actively in the integration process, while unwarranted absences may indicate difficulties requiring further intervention.

💡 Best practices for departments:

• Setting up a schedule for the signing of contracts: Ensuring that each insertion action (appointments, workshops, internships) is well associated with a clear and standardized signing system.
• Communication with referrers: Ensure a regular link between the beneficiary and his or her referrer to monitor attendance and adjust the route if necessary.
• Regular evaluation: Thanks to the Emargement, departments can regularly evaluate the involvement of the beneficiary and decide on the follow-up to be given to the insertion path.

With the digitalization of public services, electronic payment is increasingly used by departments to simplify the management of RSA beneficiaries. This solution has many advantages, both for the administration and for the beneficiaries themselves.

Advantages of digital recruitment in vocational integration

• Increased traceability: Each presence is timestamped and recorded in a secure way, guaranteeing precise tracking.
• Easier access for beneficiaries: Electronic signing allows beneficiaries to sign their participation through an online platform, even remotely. This is particularly useful for remote insertion actions or virtual appointments.
• Reduction of administrative tasks: For departments, electronic registration makes it possible to centralise all the data relating to attendance of beneficiaries, facilitating audits or journey evaluations.

Paper Labelling: a system still in use

Although digital registration is gaining ground, it is important to note that some insertion actions (such as face-to-face appointments or reintegration workshops) continue to use paper registration lists. These documents must be managed with rigor and kept according to the rules in force.

To optimize the monitoring of RSA beneficiaries and ensure that each insertion action is properly identified, departments can adopt some simple and effective good practices:

• Standardize the processes of listing: Whether for actions in person or remotely, it is important to define clear and uniform procedures for listing. This will facilitate follow-up and prevent omissions.
• Train the stakeholders: Counsellors, trainers and other actors involved in the integration process must be made aware of the importance of the training. Their role is essential to ensure that each recipient is properly engaged at every stage.
• Ensure regular follow-up: Thanks to the registration lists, referrers can regularly monitor the attendance of beneficiaries and adjust the insertion path according to the results observed.
• Sensitize the beneficiaries: The beneficiaries must perceive the commitment not as a constraint, but as a key element of their integration path. It is important to explain the direct impact of attendance on their RSA rights.

For the departments, the identification of RSA beneficiaries as part of their professional integration is an essential tool to monitor their progress, assess their commitment and adapt the actions taken according to needs. By implementing effective paper and digital payment systems, departments can ensure rigorous and transparent follow-up, while strengthening the accountability of recipients.

Successful vocational integration requires optimised attendance management, and attendance is one of the key elements in achieving this objective.
