Compulsory appointments in the social department: Important information for Alzey-Worms!
The Alzey-Worms district administration provides information about mandatory appointments in the social department for important issues such as asylum and housing benefit.
Compulsory appointments in the social department: Important information for Alzey-Worms!
The Alzey-Worms district administration announced an important innovation today: From now on, personal appointments in the social department are only possible after making an appointment in advance. This applies to many important areas such as basic security, asylum and housing benefit. The step is intended to benefit both employees and those seeking advice by enabling better preparation for the concerns. The regulation avoids long waiting times, which is particularly valuable in times of increasing inquiries. Each employee is responsible for up to 400 cases, so something really matters!
“This simply makes work more efficient,” explains an administration spokesman. If you would like to make an appointment, you should also leave a telephone number when contacting us in case you have any questions. This makes communication between those involved much easier. When processing applications, it should also be ensured that processing begins promptly. However, status inquiries during the processing time are undesirable in order to focus on resolving the concerns. Those interested can find further information about making an appointment on the district administration website: www.kreis-alzey-worms.de/dienste.
Benefits for asylum seekers
Under the current framework, the issue of asylum seeker benefits is also of considerable importance. In Germany, these services are provided in accordance with the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act (AsylbLG) to ensure the basic needs of refugees during the asylum process. In addition to food and accommodation, this also includes health care and necessary services during pregnancy and birth. A sum of money is also granted to cover personal needs, which is particularly important for newly arrived refugees, as is the information from Berlin.de clarified.
At the beginning of the asylum procedure, responsibility for granting these benefits lies centrally with the State Office for Refugee Affairs, while later benefits are provided via the respective social welfare offices if there is no entitlement to benefits according to Book II of the Social Code (SGB II).
New benefit rates from January 2025
Starting from January 1, 2025, new benefit rates according to the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act, which were published by the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, will also apply. These rates are based on varying levels of need. Here is an overview:
| Need level | Necessary needs | Necessary personal needs | In total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 (single people or single parents) | 245€ | 196€ | 441 € |
| 2 (couples in residential accommodation) | 220€ | 177€ | €397 |
| 3 (adults in inpatient facilities) | 196€ | 157€ | €353 |
| 4 (young people between 14 and 17) | €258 | 133€ | €391 |
| 5 (children between 6 and 13) | 196€ | 131€ | 327€ |
| 6 (children up to 5) | 173€ | 126€ | €299 |
These new rates represent an important basis for the integration of asylum seekers and were announced in the Federal Law Gazette on October 29, 2024. Like the information from BMAS show, they aim to provide those affected with an adequate standard of living.
In summary, it can be said that the new regulations in the social department of the Alzey-Worms district administration as well as the adjusted services for asylum seekers have set the course for more efficient and fairer support. It remains exciting to see how these changes will affect the situation of those affected and whether they will provide the much-needed relief.
