In addition to the services offered by the city of Rodgau, there are other organisations that provide social services. For example, the district of Offenbach is responsible for housing benefit and basic income support. The pension office looks after people with disabilities and the family benefits office deals with child benefits and allowances.
If your private household income is not sufficient to cover the costs of your housing, you may be legally entitled to housing benefit.
All persons who have exceeded the standard retirement age and whose income is not sufficient to cover their living expenses receive basic old-age security. An adult can also receive this benefit for health reasons if they are permanently fully incapacitated for work.
Parents on low incomes have the option of applying for childcare costs to be covered at the daycare centre and school.
Anyone who is in need of care, receives no or insufficient benefits from their care insurance fund and does not have sufficient income and assets to cover their own needs can receive care assistance at home or in a care home.
The purpose of integration assistance for people with disabilities is to prevent an impending disability, to eliminate or alleviate an existing disability or its consequences and to integrate people with disabilities into society.
Citizen's allowance is only available to people in need. You must therefore always use your own resources first before you receive financial assistance.
The education and participation package is for families who receive social benefits or have a low income. Be active in a club, get extra tuition if your grades are poor or a lunch at school or daycare centre.
The standard subsistence needs include in particular food, clothing, personal hygiene, household goods and household energy.
Child benefit ensures that your children receive basic care from birth and at least until their 18th birthday. It currently amounts to 255 euros per month per child.
Parents or single parents who receive child benefit but cannot support the whole family on their income can apply for child supplement.
Would you like to have a disability recognised under the law on severely disabled persons? Then you can submit an application. The Hessian Office for Care and Social Affairs deals with legal provisions that affect people with severe disabilities.
