This includes, among other things, blind allowance, social assistance and basic security.
Diverse social services
Cologne, like Potsdam, is committed to providing all the support that people in need need. Various providers are available to address social concerns, including the offices for training support, the Federal Employment Agency and the health and nursing care insurance companies. It is important that these social service providers in Germany are organized under public law. According to ortsdienst.de, the social security code covers numerous topics from social insurance to rehabilitation to the participation of disabled people.
The aim of social assistance according to the Twelfth Book of the Social Code (SGB XII) is to guarantee the material basis for the minimum subsistence level for people in need of help. The social benefits offered include unemployment benefit II, basic security in old age and assistance with care. There are also special email addresses for different concerns, which makes contact with the authorities even easier.
Overall, the city of Potsdam is committed to offering its citizens the best service, even in challenging times. Citizens are invited to contact the Department of Social Affairs and Inclusion via the website, by telephone or email in order to get the help they need as quickly as possible.
