Measures for activation and vocational integration (MAbE) in accordance with Section 45 of the Third Book of the German Social Code (SGB III)

If you are unemployed or threatened with unemployment, you have the opportunity to take part in a measure to support your professional integration, which can also be carried out with an employer in individual cases.

In-company measures with an employer are intended to determine your professional aptitude in relation to the target occupation or activity. However, the programme can also reduce or completely eliminate vocational placement barriers.

Your placement and counselling specialist will decide whether the service is necessary. Access to the measures takes place through an assignment or as part of an activation and placement voucher.

Scope of support

Reasonable costs for participation are covered if this is necessary for professional integration. If necessary, you can receive, for example, travel costs to the programme or childcare costs that are additionally incurred due to participation in the programme. The support can also be limited to the continued payment of unemployment benefit.

Please discuss which necessary costs can be reimbursed in individual cases with your personal contact at the employment agency.

Online application

Customers can be activated for the eService via VerBIS by their responsible placement and counselling specialist in order to apply for participation in a measure or to upload participation-related documents (e.g. declaration form). The prerequisite for this is that the customer has given their consent to this in their account.

Informal application

• You are at risk of unemployment and looking for work, are unemployed or you are a foreign national who falls under the provisions of 39a SGB III.
• In order to improve your chances of being placed in employment subject to compulsory insurance, you and/or your placement and counselling specialist have identified a need for support.
• The measures required for this and the next steps were discussed with you and set out in an integration agreement.

none

You submit an informal application to your employment agency, preferably in person during a counselling session or in writing (letter, fax), electronically (e-mail, online) or by telephone, stating your customer number.

• Your placement and counselling specialist will check whether you meet the requirements for funding and what form the measure will take.
• Finally, it will be clarified whether access by assignment is an option or whether you will receive an activation and placement voucher for your own employer search.

Option 1: Participation through referral

• The employer is already known.
• You will receive a letter of assignment in which the target occupation or activity and the practical, subject-related content of the programme are described in detail and are comprehensible to the employer, as well as a declaration form for the programme.

Variant 2: Participation through an activation and placement voucher

• With the activation and placement voucher, you look for an employer offering a suitable programme yourself. You will find the relevant information on your voucher.
• The employer or you present the activation and placement voucher completed by the employer to the Employment Agency before the start of the programme.
• If all requirements are met, you will receive a notification of authorisation to participate in the measure with information on the legal consequences/instructions and the declaration form for the reimbursement of costs. The employer (also the organiser of the measure) will be informed by a multiple copy of the approval notice.
• The programme can only begin after the decision has been issued.
• You must start the programme within the time limit of the activation and placement voucher.

Please note!

• If participation in a specific measure cannot be approved, you will receive a rejection notice and the measure organiser will receive a copy of it.
• Your activation and placement voucher itself remains valid in its original form. It still authorises you to choose an employer who will carry out this measure.

Company measure

• up to six weeks
• up to 12 weeks in the case of serious obstacles to placement

Working hours

• usually 5-day week (deviations customary in the industry or company possible)
• maximum of 42 or 84 calendar days in compliance with labour and collective bargaining regulations

• Company measures do not constitute an employment relationship. They are also not carried out in the same way as an internship.
• The purpose of the measure must not be to exclusively or predominantly carry out activities for which remuneration is normally paid.
• Company measures may not be used to compensate for holiday or illness-related absences or peak workloads.

Further procedure

• If the time limit for the activation and placement voucher has expired without a suitable employer being found, you can receive an activation and placement voucher again. In this case, however, you will need to check again whether you fulfil the eligibility requirements.
• You should discuss the results of the measure and any further follow-up activities with your placement and counselling specialist as soon as the measure ends.
