You can get help to continue the household from the social welfare agency if the continuation of a household is at risk.
The help to continue the household is a subordinate help. It is only granted if there is no priority assistance, such as assistance with care according to the seventh chapter of SGB XII, help with education according to § 27 SGB VIII or health insurance benefits, accident insurance or similar.
For example, health insurance companies may pay for domestic help if a child under the age of 12 or a disabled child who needs help lives in the household.
Only when the services of the health insurance company or other service providers do not help or are not provided can the social assistance services begin.
