Registration with the German authorities
The German authorities are now providing help in a very unbureaucratic manner. However, this requires registration at the Citizens' Registration Office or registration at the employment office, etc. There is also the possibility of free insurance for refugees upon arrival in European countries. Therefore, it is highly recommended to help each refugee claim social benefits as soon as possible.
Here is a short documentation of the essential steps:
Immigration Office (ABH)
New arrivals need to register immediately at the local immigration office, preferably with an email address for a faster process with current residential address, copy of passport, entry stamp and other identification documents. Details of all data + entry date + pet + illnesses/disabilities + immediate job offer.
AsylbLG
Individuals will be contacted via email within a few days. Content: a compressed application for benefits + translated application. Asset allowance of €200 per person
Rent
Rental certificate to be filled out by the landlord, then to the district social welfare office for approval. The upper rent limit (MOG table) applies. After confirmation the assumption of rental costs a rental agreement can be concluded.
Possible: Application for initial equipment (only if the apartment is not furnished and no donation in kind is possible).
Health insurance
Issuance of sickness certificates (blue: family doctor, pink: dentist) after receipt of the application for benefits. Only after 18 months can they register with a health insurance company. Of course, this situation changes when the person is working!
Benefit payment
The benefits are paid out via the district cash register or via the town halls if they have a cash register.
ABH
Residence permit according to §24
Those affected are informed of the date and are registered on site in the ABH and submit an application. Receive fictional certificate and later eAT according to §24
You can apply for asylum, but it doesn't make sense because of the massive restrictions. Must then happen in the LEA.
Language courses
Option 1: Submit an application from the integration course to the BAMF. In addition, a copy of the residence permit / fictional certificate and benefit notification from the social welfare office.
Option 2: self-pay (employed)
Option 3: Volunteer Courses
Work/internships
Have the job description or internship contract filled out by the employer, then send it to the ABH. *ATTENTION: it is definitely possible that this procedure will soon be abolished if the immigration authorities decide that Ukrainians may work without a specific permit under Section 24 of the Residence Act.
School/kindergarten
Compulsory schooling applies, but only becomes serious from 6 months. BUT it is best to register immediately at school / kindergarten so that you can plan better!
“School fees” can be applied for via the AsylblG. Tick “Education and Participation” on the application! When handed out, school certificate to the social welfare office submit later!
