Supplementary assistance for integration

One of the most important measures for integration is the transitional allowance. It ensures an income for the member and his family during medical rehabilitation of the member.

The transitional allowance is variable, depending on the income of the member. For members without children it amounts to 68 per cent of the last net income from work, for members with at least one child 75 per cent. Social security contributions are paid by the pension insurance fund during the payment of a transitional allowance.

In addition to the transitional allowance there is other supplementary assistance for integration, amongst others:

• Rehabilitation sport (on prescription)
• Travel expenses
• Expenses for overheads, home help and child care.
