Sozialhilferecht

Sozialhilferecht is a branch of German social law that provides financial support to individuals who cannot meet their basic needs due to unemployment, disability, or other personal hardships. It aims to ensure a basic standard of living by offering assistance with living expenses, housing, and health care. The system prioritizes enabling recipients to achieve independence, often through supportive measures or integration programs. Eligibility depends on personal circumstances, income, and assets, and the assistance is usually provided by local social welfare offices within the framework of legal regulations established to promote social security and dignity.
