Wie beantrage ich Arbeitslosengeld II?

Seit dem 1. Juni gibt es eine wichtige Änderung für ukrainische Menschen, die nach Deutschland gekommen sind. Früher erhielten sie finanzielle Unterstützung gemäß dem Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz. Jetzt müssen sie sich jedoch an das Jobcenter wenden und können Leistungen nach dem Sozialgesetzbuch erhalten.

Früher konnten ukrainische Geflüchtete, die in Deutschland registriert waren, Unterstützung nach dem Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz bekommen. Seit dem 1. Juni hat sich das geändert. Ukrainische Menschen haben jetzt Anspruch auf Grundsicherung vom Jobcenter, also auf Arbeitslosengeld II bzw. Hartz IV. Dadurch werden sie nicht mehr als Asylsuchende behandelt, sondern als anerkannte Flüchtlinge. Der Betrag des Arbeitslosengelds II ist höher und kann bis zu 449 Euro im Monat betragen.

Wann kann das Jugendamt mir das Kind wegnehmen?

When a child is in danger within their family or in the care of someone else or is living in neglect, the Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt) may take the child into its custody. If a child is in an acute crisis or is in danger, the child can also request to be taken into custody by the Youth Welfare Office.

Being taken into custody means the temporary placement and accommodation of the child in a safe environment, such as:

1. With a suitable person,

2. In a foster care family,

3. In a facility (Child and Youth Emergency Service), or

4. In another supervised living arrangement.

The goal of taking the child into custody is to protect the child or adolescent and resolve the conflict or crisis situation. The Youth Welfare Office will approach the parents (or legal guardians) to mediate in the conflict and, if necessary, initiate further assistance.

Taking a child into custody by the Youth Welfare Office against the will of the parents (or legal guardians) may result in the Family Court temporarily or permanently depriving them of parts of their parental authority or even the entire parental custody. The child can only return to their family if the parents are willing to cooperate with the Youth Welfare Office and there is a prospect of improving the domestic situation.

Wer bekommt Elterngeld?

Elterngeld, or parental allowance, is a benefit provided to parents of infants and young children. Its purpose is to enable parents to have time with their child, to raise and care for them.

Elterngeld serves as compensation for parents who have reduced or completely stopped working temporarily after the birth of their child, resulting in lower income.

In this way, Elterngeld helps to secure the financial foundation of families during this crucial time.

Elterngeld is also available to parents who had no income before the birth of their child.

Elterngeld is accessible to parents as a couple, single parents, or those who are co-parenting while living separately.
