Government launches one-off heating subsidy for the needy


The federal government has launched plans for a one-off heating cost subsidy. On Wednesday, the cabinet passed a so-called formulation aid, with which the factions of the traffic light coalition are now to introduce a law in the Bundestag. Federal Building Minister Klara Geywitz (SPD) on Wednesday in Berlin: O-TON FEDERAL BUILDING MINISTER KLARA GEYWITZ (SPD) “The Federal Cabinet did something very important today. A one-time heating cost subsidy was decided for 710,000 housing benefit recipients Bundestag faction. This serves to speed up the process as much as possible, so that the money can come to the account of the housing benefit recipients in the summer. It was important to me that it was very unbureaucratic.” The total costs for the federal budget from the heating subsidy are estimated in the cabinet proposal at almost 190 million euros. This should benefit households with housing benefit, but also students and trainees who receive state aid. Recipients of housing benefit should receive 135 euros if they live alone and 175 euros in a two-person household. For each additional family member there is 35 euros. 115 euros are provided for trainees. In total, more than two million people in need would benefit. The grant is planned to start flowing in June.
