In the event of a change, the Jobcenter must be provided with the appropriate evidence, such as a current salary certificate.

Anyone receiving basic income support must immediately notify the Job Center of any changes in their personal and/or financial circumstances.

Changes in personal and/or financial circumstances often affect eligibility for basic income support. Therefore, it is important to notify the Job Center of any changes as soon as possible. Recipients of basic income support are legally required to do so. If this obligation is violated, basic income support may have been paid out in the wrong amount. In that case, the basic income support must be repaid.

Examples of important changes:

  • Moving
  • Another person moving into or out of the residence
  • Increase or decrease in rent and heating costs
  • Start or end of employment
  • Increase or decrease in earned income
  • Change in employment status
  • Commencement or termination of self-employment
  • Inheritance
  • Change in contact information
  • Change in bank account information
  • Change in Marital Status (Marriage, Divorce)
  • Pregnancy/Birth of a Child
  • Enrollment/Completion of Studies, High School Graduation
