If you are of working age and are temporarily unable to work, you may be able to receive assistance with living expenses under certain conditions.
Social assistance is given to those who cannot or insufficiently obtain their necessary livelihood from their own strengths and resources, i.e. neither income nor assets are sufficient for this. The prerequisite is a temporary, at least 6 months, but not permanent disability on the general labor market, which means that the applicant can work less than 3 hours a day. An entitlement could also exist if an early retirement pension is drawn.

New from 2020:
If social assistance benefits to secure livelihoods are granted in addition to outpatient integration assistance (EGH) benefits, the beneficiary will receive these two benefits from different departments from 2020 onwards.
