The Federal Employment Agency is the rehabilitation provider if no other rehabilitation provider is responsible. This also applies to people with disabilities who are supported by job centers. However, the special feature here is that the responsibilities for occupational participation benefits are shared between the Federal Employment Agency and the job center.

If the Federal Employment Agency is not obliged to do so itself, you as the provider of the measure must register all participants for social insurance and pay social insurance contributions during the measure. Specifically, this involves contributions to

• health insurance,
• pension insurance,
• unemployment insurance, if applicable, and
• long-term care insurance.

The employment agency or job center will reimburse you for the social insurance contributions you have paid, depending on who is responsible for your benefits.

You will receive the money monthly in arrears for the entire duration of the measure as soon as you have submitted an application.

How high the reimbursement contributions can be depends on which measure for participation in working life is involved and which personal requirements are fulfilled by the participant. For guidance, you can refer to the "Table of reimbursement contributions for vocational rehabilitation measures", which the Federal Employment Agency has agreed with the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds (GKV SV).
