Applying for Asylbewerberleistungen
An Iranian asylum seeker in Germany may receive Asylbewerberleistungen if their status and financial circumstances meet the law. Contact the benefits authority responsible for your assignment; the type of support depends on accommodation and individual needs, not nationality alone.
Step by step
- Contact and document your claimContact the assigned benefits authority, explain your status, accommodation and resources, submit its requested evidence and retain the decision for review.
The law covers specified groups, including holders of an Aufenthaltsgestattung, with exclusions and restrictions. The basic support covers everyday essentials and personal needs. It may be provided through goods, payment cards or money depending on the legal and housing situation.
Income and assets can affect entitlement. Explain your household and actual resources accurately and ask the responsible authority which evidence it needs. Keep the written decision and check how accommodation and any special needs were considered; do not assume one cash amount applies to every Iranian applicant.
