Germany has put an end: who among Ukrainians will be left without social assistance

Germany reforms its social support system

According to hvylya.net: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced radical changes to the social support system that will affect millions of beneficiaries, including Ukrainian refugees. In an exclusive interview with ARD, Merz revealed details of the upcoming reform that will significantly change the approaches to providing government assistance to the unemployed.

'People who are able to work must work,' - said Merz, emphasizing the main principle of the new policy. Citizens who truly need support will continue to receive it, but the government is introducing stricter criteria for selecting candidates.

One of the key parts of the reform is the establishment of a cap on rent and mandatory checks of housing for recipients of social assistance. It is also planned to introduce a basic income instead of the traditional type of support, which, according to Merz, will bring significant savings.

According to DW data, there is a million Ukrainians living in the country, many of whom depend on government assistance. The goal of the reform is to ensure that help reaches those who truly need it the most.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced significant changes to the social support system aimed at more effective and targeted provision of assistance. The reform will also impact the lives of the wider Ukrainian community in Germany, as many Ukrainians are beneficiaries of social assistance in this country.
