Disabled people should have the same opportunities as non-disabled people in education and employment as far as possible.

Disabled people should have the same opportunities as non-disabled people in education and employment as far as possible. However, they often have to overcome particular barriers. The aim of the support is to ensure long-term employability.

The benefits include cash and non-cash benefits for people with disabilities or at risk of disability as well as subsidies for employers. The possible benefits are standardized in §§ 49 to 63 SGB IX.

The benefits for severely disabled people or people at risk of disability include, in accordance with Section 49 para. 3 and para. 8 in conjunction with § Section 185 para. 3 SGB IX in particular:

• Assistance in maintaining or obtaining a job, including services for activation and occupational integration, e.g. through retraining, further education and vocational training measures,
• Vocational preparation including basic training required due to the disability,
• individual in-company qualification within the framework of supported employment,
• vocational adaptation and further training, also insofar as the services include a school-leaving qualification required for participation,
• Vocational training, even if the services are not predominantly school-based,
• support for taking up self-employment
• other assistance to promote participation in working life in order to enable and maintain appropriate and suitable employment or self-employment for people with disabilities, such as
  
  • Motor vehicle assistance
  • Costs of necessary work assistance
  • Costs for aids
  • Costs of technical work aids
  • Housing allowances

Further benefits can be

• Supported employment services (Section 55 SGB IX)
• Services in workshops for people with disabilities (§§ 56 ff. SGB IX) or with other service providers (§ 60 SGB IX)
• Budget for work (Section 61 SGB IX)

Employers can according to § 50 i.V.m. § Section 185 para. 3 SGB IX, employers can receive various subsidies for severely disabled people and people with equivalent status, e.g. for

• Training allowances
• integration grants
• Subsidies for work aids in the company
• partial or full reimbursement of costs for trial employment
• Disability-friendly furnishing of work and training places
• Benefits to compensate for extraordinary burdens

The type and amount of support depends on the circumstances of the individual case. For example, some benefits are only available to severely disabled persons and persons with equivalent disabilities (Section 151 SGB IX).

You must submit an application for benefits for participation in working life to the responsible rehabilitation provider (see procedure) or integration office.

The other documents to be provided, e.g.

• medical reports,
• Cost estimates for disability-friendly workplace design,
• employment contract,
• wage certificate

depend on the circumstances of the individual case.

Application forms are available from the responsible rehabilitation provider (see procedure) or from the Integration Office.
Priority must be given to the responsible rehabilitation provider. The Integration Office is only subordinately responsible if the benefits are not to be provided by other institutions.

Prerequisites for the benefits are

• A disability must exist or be imminent (in the case of young people).
• This must not be temporary, i.e. it must have existed for at least six months.
• You are no longer able to carry out your previous activity or initial professional integration is not possible without support.

There are also special requirements depending on the type of benefit applied for. For example, some benefits are only available to severely disabled people and people with equivalent disabilities (Section 151 SGB IX). The requirements for support are checked by specialists from the rehabilitation providers (e.g. Federal Employment Agency, statutory pension insurance) and the integration offices.

Advice and information on all issues relating to the employment of severely disabled people is primarily provided by the pension insurance, the employment agencies and, if applicable, the integration offices.

The cost bearer is the responsible rehabilitation agency in the context of benefits for participation in working life or the integration office in the context of accompanying assistance in working life.

In either case, you must submit an application for benefits for participation in working life to the responsible rehabilitation provider or the integration office.

Benefits must be applied for primarily with the responsible rehabilitation provider. The Integration Office is only subordinately responsible if the benefits are not to be provided by other institutions.

According to § 6 SGB IX, rehabilitation providers for the provision of benefits for participation in working life can be

• the Federal Employment Agency (responsible for the first 15 years of insurance); for young people before initial vocational training
• the statutory accident insurance institutions (e.g. employers' liability insurance associations, public sector accident insurance institutions) if the disability was caused by an accident at work, an accident at school or on the way there, or in the case of an occupational disease
• the statutory pension insurance institutions (e.g. Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund, formerly: Bundesversicherungsanstalt für Angestellte, Deutsche Rentenversicherung Nord, formerly: Landesversicherungsanstalten) if occupational rehabilitation can avoid the payment of a pension
• the institution for old-age insurance for farmers
• War victims' welfare institutions and war victims' welfare institutions within the framework of the law on social compensation for health damage, e.g. war and military service damage, vaccination damage or consequences of acts of violence (e.g. Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania State Office for Health and Social Affairs (LAGuS) - pension office, main welfare office and the local welfare offices in the districts and independent towns)
• the public youth welfare organizations (youth welfare offices of the districts and independent cities)
• the providers of integration assistance (in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern the independent towns and districts)

The rehabilitation provider or the integration office checks whether the requirements are met and which form of support is necessary. The decision is recorded in a written notification.

All rehabilitation providers and integration offices are obliged to provide information, advice and cooperation. The institution that is approached first is obliged to clarify responsibility quickly. The rehabilitation providers designate contact points* that provide information to beneficiaries, employers and other rehabilitation providers.

• depending on the circumstances of the individual case

The legitimate wishes of the disabled person or person at risk of disability are taken into account when deciding on the benefits and when implementing the benefits for participation.

In principle, a disabled person who needs general or special services for participation in working life has a right to this support. However, anyone who makes use of support must also actively contribute to its success. All support measures can only take place with consent. If the disabled person refuses reasonable measures that the responsible rehabilitation provider deems necessary, benefits can also be refused or withdrawn.

It must be ensured that the subsidized jobs and training places are reserved for severely disabled people for a long-term period to be determined according to the individual case.

• Various services for participation in working life can be supported
• Equal opportunities for people with disabilities in training and employment
• can be granted to employers or employees
• serve to secure a job, safeguard earning capacity or reintegrate people into the workplace
• for setting up and equipping new or existing work and training places
