Support in financial emergencies
Life is not always straightforward. Illness, changes in family circumstances and crises often lead to a shortage of financial resources. Here you will find the benefits you are entitled to if you can no longer finance your own life and are in need. Below you will find savings options that may help you.
If you are in danger of losing your home, you can get support from the homelessness service under Housing-Loss of home. If you have debts, you can find advice under Advice - Debts.
Affordable and sustainable
Buying used things or repairing broken items is cheaper and more sustainable. This is not only good for your wallet, but also for the environment.

Financial aid
Time and again, older people find themselves in financial difficulties, even though they thought they had made adequate provision for their old age.
Quite a few of our fellow citizens who have worked all their lives receive very low pensions through no fault of their own. They should be able to lead a financially secure life in old age.
In addition, life situations such as the need for care or disability can lead to financial burdens that make support necessary. You can find out about the options offered by long-term care insurance and the state long-term care allowance under Advice on long-term care insurance & CO. You can find out which compensation benefits are possible in the event of a disability via the advice centers in the Participation Compass.
