A disability within the meaning of Section 2 SGB IX must exist, occur or be imminent, but not just temporary (at least six months).

There are also special requirements depending on the type of benefit applied for. The requirements for funding are checked by specialists from the social welfare provider or other rehabilitation providers (e.g. statutory pension insurance).

There are no costs or fees for the actual approval of the benefit. However, a personal contribution must be made for some types of benefit. Whether and how high this personal contribution is varies from benefit to benefit.

An application must be submitted to the responsible rehabilitation provider.

Rehabilitation providers for the provision of benefits for social participation can be in accordance with § 6 SGB IX:

• 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 war victims' welfare institutions and the 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-Vorpommern State Office for Health and Social Affairs (LAGuS) - pension office, main welfare office or 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) if no other provider is responsible for a disability and there is a need.

Pursuant to Section 76 (1) SGB IX, funding is only considered if benefits are not provided in accordance with

Chapter 9 SGB IX - Benefits for medical rehabilitation,

Chapter 10 SGB IX - Benefits for participation in working life,

Chapter 11 SGB IX - Maintenance and other supplementary benefits and

Chapter 12 SGB IX - Benefits for participation in education

are provided.

People with disabilities or at risk of disability are entitled to benefits that enable or facilitate their equal participation in life in the community. The aim is to avoid or compensate for possible disadvantages.
