Support for returning to work for people with statutory accident insurance
Service Description
If you are no longer able to carry out your previous activity due to health problems caused by an accident at work or an occupational disease, you will receive benefits for participation in working life. Benefits that can be provided by your employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund include, for example
- Assistance to resume or continue your previous activity
- Support in transferring to another job within the previous company
- Support in taking up employment in another company
- retraining
- Vocational adjustment, further training and qualification
- Admission to a workshop for people with disabilities
After an accident at work or an occupational illness, the statutory accident insurance will use all appropriate means to enable a return to the previous workplace. If a return to the existing workplace is not possible, efforts will be made to at least maintain the employment relationship with the previous employer. If this is also not possible, efforts will be made to ensure rapid and sustainable integration into the general labor market.
Benefits for participation are also provided for children and young people in the event of an insurance claim. The aim here is, among other things, to enable those affected to receive a general school education and appropriate vocational or gainful employment.
You do not need to submit an application. Your employer's liability insurance association or accident insurance fund will check possible claims ex officio.
Process flow
You do not have to submit an application. Your employer's liability insurance association or accident insurance fund will check possible claims on its own initiative ("ex officio") and contact you.
- After reporting an accident at work that threatens to permanently restrict your ability to carry out your previous activity, the rehab manager will contact you.
- He or she will discuss with you and, if you agree, your employer the further options for maintaining your job.
- If you are no longer able to carry out your previous activity, even with aids or support, he or she will discuss further alternatives with you.
- If the problems at work only occur at a later date and no current medical treatment is required, contact your rehab manager.
You can contact your employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund online or by post.
