Apply for free funding SGB II


With the support services of the Social Code Book III (SGB III) and Social Code Book II (SGB II), there are good opportunities for your job center to support you in your integration into work. In cases where these support options are not sufficient, the so-called Free Support SGB II can provide additional support.

Your responsible integration specialist will decide whether support from the Free Support SGB II is necessary and possible in your specific situation and, if so, how it can be structured. In principle, both financial benefits and participation in measures are possible. You have no legal entitlement to support.
