Moving basic security: Schwalbe supports you with energy and competence

According to Article 11 of the German Basic Law, all Germans have the right to freedom of movement within the federal territory.

This means that every German is free to choose his own home and place of residence.

However, if you receive Hartz4 or basic income assistance, there are some differences that we’d like to discuss in more detail here.

Basic security moving: Inform the social welfare office in good time

You should coordinate a move for basic security in advance with the responsible social welfare office.

Otherwise you risk having your benefits reduced or not approved.

This is the case, for example, if the social welfare office considers the cost of the new house to be too high.

The social welfare office will also need to know your new address so that it can continue to contact you by post.

So find out in good time which social welfare office is responsible for you in your new place of residence.

Don’t hesitate, find out here what your move will cost.

Apply for relocation allowance: There must be important reasons

If you receive basic income support and there are important reasons for your relocation, you can apply for financial assistance from the relevant social welfare office, the so-called relocation allowance.

For example, important reasons are:

  • The move was requested by the Social Welfare Office itself
  • You can no longer live in your previous home because of the risk to your health
  • There is a need for handicapped-accessible apartments
  • The tenancy has been terminated
  • You are separated from your partner

If you have any further questions, you can contact the removal professionals at Schwabe Removals Company or your responsible case officer at the Social Welfare Office directly.

Do basic income assistance recipients pay double rent when the office moves?

There have already been related court decisions in which job centers or social welfare offices were obliged to cover the costs of double rent in the old and new apartments (so-called overlapping costs). However, the conditions for this were that it was necessary to leave the old apartment and that the rental period could not be coordinated due to the notice period.

Is it possible to move to another federal state if I receive basic income support?

Yes, it is also possible for people on basic income support to move to another city or state. However, the move must be coordinated with the responsible social welfare office, especially if relocation assistance has been applied for.

What happens if I leave without permission?

You must not make transfers without the approval of the responsible social welfare office, otherwise your financial benefits may be withdrawn.
