Education and participation for children and teenagers
Education package
Dependent children and teenagers have a legal right to participate, for example day trips and lunchtimes at school and in kindergartens, in music, sport and games in clubs and groups. The education package was introduced to specifically support children and teenagers.
The education and participation package is available for children, teenagers and young adults who are entitled to
basic jobseekers’ allowance pursuant to SGB II
social support pursuant to SGB XII (including asylum seekers whose benefits are determined via Section 2 para. 1 of the Asylum Seekers' Benefits Act (AsylbLG) in the scope and amount pursuant to SGB XII)
child benefits in line with the Federal Law on family allowances
housing benefits in line with the housing allowance law
When claiming housing benefits, a child benefit claim must also exist for the child entitled to benefits.
Benefits for education and participation can be applied for at the Landratsamt Ebersberg, Besondere Soziale Leistungen, Eichthalstraße 5, 85560 Ebersberg.
Note: The provision of personal school supplies (e.g. school bag, writing, calculating and drawing materials) is transferred together with the standard benefits from your job centre to the person eligible for benefits in line with SGB II for the period of compulsory education by the deadlines of 1 August and 1 February without a special application being required.
