Apply for subsidies for training and employment of people with disabilities at the Jobcenter
Service Description
Training allowance for people with disabilities and people with severe disabilities or equivalent status
As a rule, you will receive the training allowance for the entire duration of your training or further education.
The amount of the allowance is determined on an individual basis and depends on the type and severity of the disability and the impact of the disability on the training or further training.
The allowance is paid monthly and amounts to up to 60 percent of the monthly training allowance for the last year of training or further training, including the employer's flat-rate contribution to the total social security contribution. In justified exceptional cases, subsidies can be provided up to the amount of the training allowance for the last year of training or further training.
All company measures that involve and focus on vocational training or qualifications for people with disabilities or severely disabled people can be funded. This also includes dual courses of study, for example, if these include a vocational qualification in accordance with the Vocational Training Act.
Your job center will decide whether you can receive the training allowance. There is no legal entitlement to a subsidy.
Integration subsidy following initial or further training
If you employ a severely disabled person after completing initial or further training funded by a training allowance, the Jobcenter can pay you an integration allowance.
The integration subsidy amounts to up to 70 percent of the salary and can be paid out for 1 year.
However, the specific amount is at the discretion of the Jobcenter.
The job center in whose district the employable person entitled to benefits has his or her habitual residence is responsible. The job center is also responsible for existing employment relationships if top-up benefits are granted in accordance with the Second Book of the German Social Code.
