Questions and answers
If, for whatever reason, you cannot work, i.e. are unable to earn money, you also have a right to help. This is called social assistance because it pursues the social idea that everyone in this country should have something to eat, a home, clothing and everyday needs, as well as access to education. Social assistance includes both financial benefits similar to unemployment benefit 2 and various benefits in kind for daily needs. You will also receive advice so that you can - if possible - stand on your own two feet again.
Unfortunately, living is becoming more and more expensive. If you cannot afford your apartment or can only afford it partially, you can apply for housing benefit. If you receive unemployment benefit 2 including housing costs, you cannot apply for housing benefit. Here, too, there are small restrictions. Whoever wants to move into an expensive luxury apartment with a low income may find it difficult to get a subsidy. Otherwise, don't be afraid to ask for housing subsidies or apply for them if you find it difficult to pay the rent. Do it as soon as possible, because there are no retroactive payments. Please do not let any rent arrears arise, otherwise problems with the landlord will arise.
