The tool automatically selects the annexes that fit your situation.

What happens technically.

The tool guides you through the details that SGB II requires and maps the benefit unit (Bedarfsgemeinschaft) with all members, income and housing costs. Depending on the situation, it automatically assigns the relevant annexes, for example on income as well as on the costs of accommodation and heating.

From the entries, a complete, plausibility-checked main application including annexes is created. Your advisers can review and supplement it before output.
