The German government has launched a major social reform with the Citizen's Income. It replaced unemployment benefit II on 1 January 2023.<\/p>\n

The Citizen's Income was introduced in two stages. In a first step, the standard benefit rates will be increased at the beginning of 2023 and a de minimis limit will be introduced. In a second step, the core elements for further training and qualifications will be introduced in mid-2023.<\/p>\n

The main aim is to ensure that people on basic income support are better qualified and can therefore be placed in jobs on a permanent basis. In addition, the calculation of standard requirements will be placed on a new basis.<\/p>\n

The new <\/i> Fact sheet SGB II on the citizen's allowance<\/strong> offers you comprehensive information.<\/p>\n
