Rights of migrant workers in an irregular situation and members of their families 2013, para. 69
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Article 27, paragraph 2, states that where the applicable legislation does not allow migrant workers and members of their families a benefit, the State party concerned shall examine the possibility of reimbursing them the amount of contributions made by them with respect to that benefit on the basis of equality of treatment with nationals. In this respect, States parties shall provide objective reasons in each case in which the reimbursement of the said contributions is deemed impossible. A decision not to reimburse contributions made by a migrant worker or family member must not discriminate on the basis of his or her nationality or migration status. Furthermore, the Committee considers that a migrant worker's entitlement to social security benefits should not be affected by a change in workplace.
