The education and participation package enables children, teenagers and young adults to participate more than before in social and cultural life in the community. The spectrum ranges from help in daycare centers and schools to music lessons and membership fees for sports clubs to leisure activities.
Who can receive benefits from the education and participation package?
Children and young people up to the age of 18 or 25 from families who receive at least one of the following basic benefits:
Unemployment benefit II/social allowance (Social Code Book II/SGB II)
Social assistance (Social Code Book XII/SGB XII)
Benefits according to the AsylbLG
Child supplement according to the Federal Child Benefit Act (BKKG)
Housing benefit under the Housing Benefit Act (WoGG)
What do you need to consider? Which benefits are covered?
A separate application is not required for recipients of benefits from the job center or social assistance. In future, people who receive child supplement or housing benefit can submit an informal application for benefits for education and participation, for example by email. There is still a general application requirement for learning support for all of the aforementioned legal groups.
The supplementary sheet is only important if you do not receive any of the basic benefits listed in the main application and could achieve a need for support with the requested benefits for education and participation. The benefits for education and participation are of a needs-based nature. An entitlement also exists if the person making the request is not to be granted standard rates, but the needs under the education and participation package cannot be fully covered from their own resources.
The Service Center for Education and Participation in the Office for Social Affairs and Housing accepts and processes applications and proofs. Recipients of unemployment benefit II/social benefit (SGB II) can also submit evidence to the Jobcenter Bonn. From there, the applications are forwarded to the Education and Participation Service Center.
As soon as your basic benefit is approved, please submit a follow-up application to the Education and Participation Service Center or submit the relevant proof of cost coverage.
The citizens' hotline of the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs provides information by telephone from Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on 030 221911009.
