Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz

The Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz (Asylum Seekers Benefits Act) is a German law that provides financial support and assistance to people seeking asylum. It ensures they have basic needs met, such as food, shelter, healthcare, and necessary expenses, while their asylum application is processed. The law aims to offer fair support without encouraging misuse, often with lower benefits compared to regular social welfare. It primarily applies to asylum seekers who have not yet received full social security, balancing compassionate aid with sustainable resource management.
