If you receive unemployment benefit II, you will conclude an integration agreement with the job center. This is a written declaration that you sign together with your counseling specialist.

The agreement documents the extent to which the job center will support you in your goal of finding a new job (e.g., by covering travel or application costs) and what contribution you will make in return (for example, when and how often you will apply for open positions). The duration and content of the agreement are individually tailored to you and your professional goal.

The conclusion of an integration agreement is required by law.
