Housing benefit is a very individual benefit. If you would like to check online in advance whether you are eligible, I recommend the housing benefit calculator. You can find more information on this in the "Further links" section at the bottom of this page.

Konut parası (Wohngeld).

Konut parası, kira için veya müstakil eviniz veya kendi daireniz varsa ortaya çıkan giderler için mali bir yardımdır. Konut parası Federasyon ve eyaletler tarafından yarı yarıya finanse edilir.

Konut parası almak için bir başvuru yapmak zorundasınız. Şehrinizdeki yerel idare başvurunuzu inceler ve konut parası alıp alamayacağınızı size bildirir. Bu başvuruyu çevrimiçi de yapabilirsiniz.
