Procedure descriptions

Apply for help with living costs

Is your disposable family income not sufficient for the necessary subsistence? Do you have no realisable assets and are not fit for work? Then you may be entitled to help with living costs (social assistance).

Note: If you are fit for work, you are entitled to a citizen's allowance under certain conditions.

Note: If you have reached the standard age limit or are at least 18 years old and are permanently fully incapacitated for work, you may be entitled to benefits from basic security in old age and in the event of reduced earning capacity.

The benefits of assistance for subsistence include:

the flat-rate standard rate to ensure subsistence, for example for food, clothing, personal hygiene. The amount depends on the number of persons living in the household (community of use) and their age.
Benefits for additional subsistence needs, for example for expectant mothers from the 13th week of pregnancy, single parents, disabled persons, nutrition-related additional needs as well as for a decentralised hot water supply
Benefits for accommodation and heating, as far as the costs are reasonable, if necessary also removal costs and rent deposits
other one-off benefits in kind or cash benefits or loans, for example initial equipment for newborns, initial housing facilities
Education and participation benefits for children and young people, for example school trips, personal school supplies, school tickets, school lunches, club fees, learning assistance
contributions to health and long-term care insurance

The flat-rate standard rate is graduated according to age groups and type of housing and will be as follows from 01.01.2024:

Level 1: EUR 563.00 for each adult person living in a flat
Level 2: EUR 506.00 for each adult person living in a flat with a spouse or partner or living in a special form of housing for disabled persons
Level 3: EUR 451,00 for each adult person living in an institution
Level 4: EUR 471,00 for young people from the beginning of their 15th to the end of their 18th year of life
Level 5: EUR 390,00 for children from the beginning of their 7th to the end of their 14th year of life
Level 6: EUR 357.00 for children up to the age of 6

The Social Welfare Office takes the entire family income into account to determine the need for assistance. It takes into account, for example:

Maintenance payments
Pension income
Child benefit

Certain assets are considered to be exempt assets, such as small amounts of cash or an appropriate house property. These are not included in the calculation of benefits.

If the countable income is less than the assessed need, the Social Welfare Office will pay the difference.

You can also receive one-off benefits if you are able to ensure your current livelihood but cannot finance a one-off need.

Notice: As a rule, you will not receive benefits for past periods.

Responsible authority

the Social Welfare Office

Social welfare office is,

if you live in a city district: the city council
if you live in a district: the district administration office (Landratsamt)

Note: In some cases, the administrative districts have transferred responsibility to larger cities in their district area. If you live in a district, the district administration office or the municipal administration of your place of residence can tell you the competent authority.

Prerequisite

You are needy and unable to work.

You are in need of assistance if you are unable to fully cover your living expenses or the living expenses of persons living with you from your own resources and strength.

You are fully incapacitated for work if you are unable to work at least three hours a day under the usual conditions of the general labor market for the foreseeable future (longer than six months). This applies, for example, to recipients of a temporary pension due to a full reduction in earning capacity or long-term sick people.

Procedure

You must inform the social welfare office in writing or verbally about your emergency situation, as an entitlement can exist at the earliest from the time you become aware of the emergency situation. .

Depending on the services offered by your responsible office, you can submit the application online, the application form can be sent to you or you can - after making an appointment - take advantage of a consultation and submit the application in person.

As soon as the responsible office has approved your application, it will transfer the money to your account at the beginning of the month.

Attention: If you do not have an account, you must open one as soon as possible, possibly a garnishment-free P account. As a rule, it is not possible to pay out cash cheques.

Note: You are obliged to inform the competent office immediately of any changes in your income and financial circumstances.
