Citizen's allowance and social benefits for EU citizens in Germany

If you are a citizen of an EU country and would like to apply for citizen's allowance or other social benefits in Germany, there are certain conditions that you must meet. The following points are checked during the application process:

• When did you come to Germany?
• How long have you been in Germany?
• Have you worked or are you still working since you arrived here?

If you meet these requirements, you will receive the applications for citizens' benefits and we will help you with the application process. We also process your applications for citizen's allowance.

When it comes to job placement, we record your educational knowledge and the professional experience you have acquired in your home country.

Our employees will advise you on the recognition of your educational and professional qualifications that you have acquired abroad. We also support you in attending German courses and other measures to help you integrate into the German labor market. We will also provide you with job offers and help you with placement as an applicant.
