Germany’s Federal Employment Agency Is Promoting Welfare Benefits To Young Migrants
Germany’s Federal Employment Agency is actively promoting the country’s “citizen’s benefit” (Bürgergeld) to young migrants, presenting it online as a straightforward and appealing option for those without work.
A dedicated section of the agency’s website, written in English for “people from abroad,” features a smiling young couple — including a man in his early thirties holding a book and a woman in a hijab — under the headline:
“If you are unable to finance your own living expenses, under certain circumstances the Jobcenter will support you with the citizen’s benefit.”
