The actual costs for the flat are covered during this period, which is called the grace period.

These regulations are based on what has been in place since the beginning of the pandemic and has proven its worth: The chances of finding a way into work are particularly high during the initial period of benefit receipt. This is why these regulations should also apply to the citizen's allowance - so that people can focus on finding a job instead of having to worry about moving to cheaper accommodation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-3d8d7cede066cc420 fusion-toggle-no-divider\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#f39335;--awb-content-color:#333333;\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h3 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_3d8d7cede066cc420\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"3d8d7cede066cc420\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-3404-1\" data-target=\"#3d8d7cede066cc420\" href=\"#3d8d7cede066cc420\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">7 What is changing when it comes to training?<\/span><\/a><\/h3><\/div><div id=\"3d8d7cede066cc420\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_3d8d7cede066cc420\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p class=\"text\">The Citizen's Income provides more support than before on the path to long-term, sustainable employment - instead of focussing on quick placement. The labour market has changed over the past twenty years: There is now a desperate need for well-trained labour and skilled workers. This is why the Citizen's Income programme also provides greater support for further vocational training: Those who decide in favour of training or retraining are to receive more intensive support. The principle of \"training before a temporary job\" applies. To this end, the so-called placement priority will be abolished. If necessary, it will also be possible to receive support for catching up on a vocational qualification for a shorter period of time (e.g. three years instead of two). The acquisition of basic skills (<abbr title=\"for example\">z. B.<\/abbr> reading, maths and IT skills) is encouraged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text\">In future, holistic support (coaching) will be available as a new service to provide even more intensive support that \"meets\" the needs of benefit recipients - including in terms of location. Coaching can also take the form of outreach, training or employment support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text\">As a result of the discontinuation of the social labour market, the \"Participation in the labour market\" funding will now be permanently available to the job centres.
