Asylum seekers; application for benefits

AsylbLG-entitled initially receive so-called basic benefits under § § 3, 3a AsylbLG.< /p>

If persons entitled to benefits under the AsylbLG have been staying in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany for 18 months without any significant interruption and if they have not abused their rights by influencing the duration of their stay themselves, they receive benefits in the same way as recipients of social assistance benefits under the Twelfth Book of the Social Code (SGB XII).

The type of benefit granted (payment in kind, cash benefit, non-cash settlement, etc.) depends, among other things, on the type of accommodation. As far as legally permissible and possible, the benefits in Bavaria are granted as benefits in kind.

Children, adolescents and young adults are also entitled to benefits for education and participation.
