Apply for benefits for participation in working life in accordance with SGB IX

Disabled people should, if possible, have the same opportunities as non-disabled people in training and work. However, they often have to overcome special barriers. The aim of the funding is to ensure long-term employability.
The benefits include cash and non-cash benefits for people with disabilities or those at risk of becoming disabled, as well as grants to employers. The possible benefits are standardized in Sections 49 to 63 SGB IX.
The benefits for severely disabled people or people at risk of disability include, in accordance with Section 49 Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 8 i. V. m. § 185 Abs. 3 SGB IX in particular:

Help to maintain or obtain a job, including services for activation and professional integration, e.g. through retraining, further education and professional training measures,
Vocational preparation including basic training required because of the disability,
individual company qualifications within the framework of supported employment,
professional adaptation and further training, even if the services include a school qualification required for participation,
vocational training, even if the services are carried out in school in a period that is not predominant,
Encouraging people to take up self-employment
other assistance to promote participation in working life in order to enable and maintain suitable and suitable employment or self-employment for disabled people, such as:
- motor vehicle assistance
- Cost of a necessary job assistance
- costs for aids
- costs of technical aids
- housing allowances

Other services can be:

Supported employment benefits (§ 55 SGB IX)
Services in workshops for people with disabilities (§§ 56 ff. SGB IX) or from other service providers (§ 60 SGB IX)
Budget for work (§ 61 SGB IX)

According to § 50 i. In accordance with Section 185 Paragraph 3 SGB IX, severely disabled people and people of equal status receive various subsidies, e.g. for:

education grants
integration grants
Subsidies for work aids in the company
Partial or full reimbursement of costs for trial employment
Disability-friendly facilities for workplaces and training places

Services to compensate for extraordinary burdens

The type and amount of funding depend on the circumstances of the individual case. For example, some services are only aimed at severely disabled people and disabled people of equal status (§ 151 SGB IX).
