| I know this is old, but:
Unemployment benefits (Arbeitslosenentschädigung/ chômage) is NOT social help (Sozialhilfe / Aide sociale) and it is your good right to apply for it (if eligible). Neither are IV/DI, nor AHV/OASI considered as social help but.
Unemployment benefit, IV/DI, AHV/OASI are all social insurances for which you have to pay before you can get anything https://www.ahv-iv.ch/en/Social-insu...-insurance-ALV
Social help (a.k.a social assistance) is a last resort help when everything else fails and none of the social insurances has to pay (or does not pay enough).

Mmm, yes but. Cantons can set their own rules and Glarus at least seems to want applicants not to have been in receipt of either unemployment OR social help for the preceding three years - or, if you were, to have paid it all back.

I can understand that if you get unemployment benefit at time of application or decision that the naturalization application will be rejected. But paying it back? I did not know that this is even a possibility if you got the unemployment benefit rightfully. I doubt that will fly with the federal court.
