Asylum seekers; applying for benefits

Persons entitled to benefits under the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act initially receive so-called basic benefits in accordance with §§ 3, 3a AsylbLG.

If persons entitled to AsylbLG benefits have been in Germany for 36 months without significant interruption and have not abusively influenced the duration of their stay themselves, they receive benefits in the same way as recipients of social welfare benefits under the German Social Code Book Twelfth (SGB XII). Children, adolescents and young adults are also entitled to benefits for education and participation.

The type of benefit granted (benefit in kind, payment card, cash benefit, non-cash settlement, etc.) depends, among other things, on the type of accommodation. Where legally permissible and possible, benefits in Bavaria are granted as benefits in kind. Otherwise, they are generally paid for using a payment card.

Asylum system

The asylum system is responsible for assistance in accordance with the Asylum Seekers' Benefits Act (AsylbLG). This assistance includes monthly payments in accordance with the respective standard rates as well as medical assistance. The Asylum Department is also responsible for equipping the asylum seekers' accommodation, organizing and occupying the accommodation and for its ongoing operation.

Foreigners Office

The Aliens Office is responsible for issuing and renewing residence permits, as well as for issuing conditions under migration law, such as the requirement to live in the city and district. It is also responsible for enforcing deportations. The Immigration Office assists asylum seekers during the procedure, enforces the decisions of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees and, in cooperation with the Federal Employment Agency, decides on the work permit applications of asylum seekers.

Youth welfare office

The Youth Welfare Office is responsible for looking after unaccompanied minors (umA). Many people are currently fleeing war and persecution from their home countries and seeking protection in Germany. Among them are many young people who have fled without their parents and are entering our country. These minors enjoy special protection and care under the Child and Youth Welfare Act. For this reason, they are generally accommodated in youth welfare facilities, most of which are run by charities or independent organizations. In addition to providing care, the focus of care is on teaching German language skills, integrating them into school and developing training and career prospects.

Job center

The Jobcenter is responsible for paying out citizens' benefits in accordance with Social Code 2. In addition to cash benefits, people with a secure residence permit also receive extensive support for taking up employment. If you meet the requirements, you can submit an application for citizen's allowance. You can submit the application electronically or in person at the Jobcenter Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen.
