To ensure that there is no interruption in housing allowance payments, you should submit an application for continued housing allowance payments 2 months before the end of the allowance period.

Housing allowance is usually granted for 12 months. To ensure that you continue to receive housing benefit after 12 months without interruption, you should submit a new application in good time. When you do so, the housing allowance authority will check the conditions for your entitlement again.

• Rental contract or the documents about the costs of the residential property you are using residential property, if you are the owner
• current rent receipt (bank statement or proof of payment)
• last change of rent

You yourself, as the person entitled to housing benefit, must submit the application.

After checking your income and costs, you will be granted the housing allowance if you are entitled to it.

You will be notified in writing of the approval and the amount of the payment.

In order for your application to be processed in a timely manner, you should submit your application 2 months prior to the end of the grant period.

Example: Your housing allowance expires on 3/31. Then submit the application on approximately 1.2.

If your financial situation or living circumstances have changed, this may also result in a reduction of the housing allowance.

You are obliged to notify the housing allowance authority immediately of any changes that may lead to a reduction in the housing allowance. To ensure that you do not wrongly receive housing allowance, the housing allowance authority regularly checks the household members by means of a so-called data comparison.
