They live in a special form of integration assistance housing and this facility assumes overall responsibility for their daily living and integration.

Social assistance is available to those who cannot, or cannot sufficiently, earn their living from their own resources, meaning neither income nor assets are sufficient. The prerequisite is a temporary, at least six-month, but not permanent incapacity to work in the general labor market, meaning the applicant can work less than three hours a day. Eligibility may also exist if they are receiving an early retirement pension.

You will generally receive social assistance to cover your living expenses if you are in need of assistance and:

• neither basic security for job seekers,
• still receive basic security in old age and in the event of incapacity for work.
• Children under 15 years of age receive social assistance if they only:
  • live with people who receive help with their living expenses (usually with their parents) and
  • cannot secure their livelihood despite maintenance claims.

The benefits of subsistence assistance include:

• The standard flat-rate allowance for securing a living, for example, for food, clothing, or personal care. A separate standard allowance is set for each family member.
• Educational and participation services for children and young people, for example for:
• school trips,
• personal school supplies,
• Student tickets,
• supplementary learning support,
• Lunch in schools or
• Club contributions, music lessons and the like.

• are single parents, have reached the age of 15, are disabled and receive assistance for appropriate schooling or training within the framework of integration assistance,

• You are a student and, due to the respective school regulations or school requirements, have expenses for the purchase or borrowing of school books or equivalent workbooks.

• earned income,
• Maintenance payments and
• Pension income.

Child benefit paid for minors and any maintenance payments for a child are allocated to that child in order to cover his or her needs.
Certain assets are considered to be non-recognizable assets, for example:

• an appropriate house plot.

Except in a few exceptional cases, you will not receive any benefits for past periods.

• valid identity card, passport or residence permit, if applicable, confirmation of registration

is informed about the eligibility for benefits. This information is usually
in the form of an application.

The social welfare office will decide on your application and inform you of the outcome. This is done by sending you a notice, usually by letter. If your application is approved, you will receive an approval notice; if it is rejected, you will receive a rejection notice.
