Geiger:Leitfaden zum Bürgergeld

There is still no AI that can safely navigate the web of social security systems: from citizen income to unemployment benefits, social assistance (in the form of subsistence aid and basic security in old age and in case of reduced earning capacity), maternity benefits, parental benefits, advance maintenance payments, child benefits, child supplement, exemption from childcare costs, BAföG, housing benefits, and child housing benefits, to benefits from health, long-term care, accident, and pension insurance. The interplay of these systems has become increasingly opaque in recent years. In light of the burgeoning complexity, this guide, unlike traditional commentaries and textbooks, focuses on practical case constellations, presents the relevant regulations of SGB II, and includes neighboring social benefits. The numerous amendments to the law are taken into account as of August 1, 2024. The case law of the courts responsible for different social benefits is incorporated. Important legislative initiatives for 2025 are also highlighted. An index is included again in the new edition.
