Wohngeld للعمال ذوي الدخل المنخفض

Wohngeld Despite Working – How Does That Work?

Wohngeld ليس فقط للعاطلين عن العمل.

In fact, a large proportion of Wohngeld recipients are employed. Especially in cities with high rents like Cologne, income from full-time, part-time or mini-jobs is often insufficient to cover the full housing costs.

كيف يتم تقييم دخل العمل؟

لا يتم تقييم كامل دخلك الإجمالي:

• يخصم مبلغ مقطوع للمصروفات المتعلقة بالعمل.
• تقلل مساهمات التأمين الاجتماعي من الدخل الخاضع للتقييم.
• Taxes: the wage tax paid and solidarity surcharge are taken into account.

دوام كامل أم جزئي؟

The type of your employment does not matter for Wohngeld entitlement – only the amount of your income is decisive:

• دوام كامل: حتى مع وظيفة بدوام كامل، يمكنك الحصول على Wohngeld.
• دوام جزئي: مع العمل بدوام جزئي، تزداد احتمالية الأهلية.
• Mini-Job / 520-Euro-Job: Mini-jobbers can also receive Wohngeld. The income from a mini-job is assessed against the Wohngeld entitlement but does not fundamentally exclude it.

What Counts as Income?

Various types of income are taken into account in the Wohngeld calculation:

• Gross wages (including supplements, holiday and Christmas bonuses)
• Income from self-employment (after deduction of business expenses)
• Wage replacement benefits such as sick pay, unemployment benefit I, parental allowance

الدمج مع مزايا أخرى

Wohngeld can be combined with certain other benefits. For example, you can receive Wohngeld and child benefit, Wohngeld and parental allowance, or Wohngeld and unemployment benefit I simultaneously.
