Education funding: announce changes

Service Description

If you receive BAföG, you must notify us of any changes to your previous application details.

Some changes lead to an increase or decrease in your entitlement.

These include

  • Change due to enrollment in health and long-term care insurance
  • Change in your income
  • Change in your parents' income
  • Change in the income of your spouse or civil partner
  • Change in your accommodation costs
  • Birth of your child

If your entitlement increases, you will receive more money each month.

If your entitlement is reduced, you will receive less money. You may have to pay back the excess BAföG.

Process flow

If something changes in your situation, you must inform the Office for Educational Support immediately.

You can do this in writing or online. You must also submit the relevant supporting documents with your change application.

If your entitlement has increased, you will receive a notification of change and the increased amount will be paid to you. The amount will also be refunded retroactively if you have notified us of all changes in good time.

If your entitlement is reduced, you will receive less BAföG from the following month. It will also be checked whether you have received too much BAföG in the past, which you will then have to reimburse.

Who should I contact?

Please contact the Office for Educational Support.
