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:
