Persons with an approval notice for 2024 will automatically receive the higher standard rates. A separate application for citizen's allowance is not required. Even if you have already submitted an application and have not yet been notified, the adjustment will be made automatically. The notifications will be sent out in the first week of January 2024.
The Citizen's Income provides reliable security for people in crisis situations or after losing their job in order to successfully make their way back into working life and guarantees a decent minimum subsistence level, taking individual circumstances into account.
Further information on determining the standard requirements can be found at the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (BMAS).
