Welfare of German immigrants

Among them, social relief is the lowest level of protection, mainly aimed at those low-income groups living in poverty. The purpose is to enable those groups with difficulties in survival to maintain a basic life in line with human dignity by accepting relief. At the same time, the government also hopes that this kind of assistance can help the poor to return to the labor market and gain the ability to stand on their own feet.

The distribution of social relief mainly depends on local governments, which can be in cash or in kind. Its contents can be divided into two categories: first, life assistance, that is, living allowances provided to low-income people living below the poverty line, including food, accommodation, clothing, personal hygiene, household appliances, heating and expenses to meet personal daily needs. It is worth pointing out that the minimum living guarantee here not only refers to material life, but also includes necessary social, cultural and spiritual life, such as watching movies, sports, tourism and other activities that are particularly important for the growth of teenagers.

Then there is special assistance, that is, providing assistance to citizens in special circumstances, including education aid, health prevention assistance, medical assistance, maternity assistance, and elderly assistance. For example, provide health assistance (including preventive health assistance, disease assistance, family planning assistance, fertility assistance, etc.) to the poor without medical insurance. ) and provide assistance to people who need long-term or special and serious care.

Housing subsidies are mainly targeted at low-income families with many children, the disabled and the elderly to reduce their rent burden. All citizens whose income is not enough to rent a suitable area of housing can enjoy the housing subsidies provided by the state.

In addition, many cities in Germany have invested in the construction of social housing and rented it out to people in need of social assistance at low prices. Youth allowance is paid to middle school students and college students who cannot afford education and training. They can apply for this subsidy to get equal opportunities in school education and vocational training.

Child allowance is also an important part of social assistance in Germany. Families with children can get family allowances, and the more children, the more family allowances.

Social assistance in Germany is not limited to economic assistance, but also includes social affairs consultation. This kind of personalized assistance has played an important role in enhancing self-reliance, surpassing social assistance. German humanized welfare is more suitable for life.

Extended reading: the misunderstanding of German immigrants

1. Immigration means acquiring foreign nationality.

Generally speaking, immigrants cannot directly acquire foreign nationality. German nationality can only be joined after you immigrate and obtain permanent residency, that is, a green card.

Under normal circumstances, no matter whether you immigrate by yourself or through an intermediary, the applicant initially obtains permanent residence status, which is what we call a temporary green card. Although you can already enjoy the same welfare benefits as local citizens, you have a residence period. When you meet the conditions for permanent residence, you can apply for permanent residence and get an indefinite residence permit, which is a green card. After holding a green card, you have the conditions for naturalization.

German newborn naturalization is easier than immigration. In some areas, it is compulsory for newborns to join German nationality at birth, and in some areas, they can choose to join when their children are born, or they can choose whether to join German nationality when they are adults.

2. Immigration means settling abroad.

Unlike other countries, Germany has no immigration supervisors. Therefore, after applying for German immigration, you can continue to live in China and continue your original job.

Immigration only gives you the status of other countries, so that you can enjoy the welfare benefits of other countries and have the right to live in other countries.

Immigration is the privilege of the rich.

Immigration does require a certain capital cost, but the threshold for immigration in Germany is lower than that in other countries. Although German investment immigrants have low requirements for investors' qualifications, the total cost is about RMB 3 million. However, although the EU Blue Card has relatively high qualification requirements for investors, its cost is lower than that of investment immigrants. If you choose to immigrate after studying in Germany, the cost of immigration will be lower, because all German education is free. After finishing their studies, they will stay for 18 months, and they can live in Germany as long as they can successfully find suitable jobs.
