The state wants to help companies and individuals who are particularly disadvantaged due to the coronavirus pandemic . Are you also affected? Here are some funds that you can use.

Emergency aid for small businesses and the self-employed

The spread of the corona virus causes many concerns at very different levels. For example, there is fear that the current situation will have a negative impact on the economy *. In addition, small businesses and the self-employed , whose work is currently being restricted, are facing an uncertain future.

To support these people, the state offers emergency aid with a budget of 50 billion euros . Companies with a maximum of five employees can receive a grant of up to EUR 9,000 for three months. However, if a company has up to ten employees, the state offers a maximum of 15,000 euros for the same period.

As can be seen on the government's website, the amounts apply in particular to ongoing operating costs such as rents. Applications can be submitted to the respective municipalities and countries .

Parents can now apply for child supplement more easily

A new aid package makes it easier for parents to get the child supplement . This provides for amounts of up to 185 euros per month . As MDR Jump describes, soon the income of the past six months is no longer a criterion for whether parents receive the amount. Instead, from April 1, only the income of the previous month is taken into account. In addition, there is now the possibility to postpone the months of parental leave and thus the receipt of parental allowance if mothers and fathers are needed at their workplace. You can find more information on the website of the Federal Ministry.

So far no solution for single parents

Single parents have the difficult task of balancing children and work. Is there financial help for this? Anyone who has to stay at home can agree on continued wages with the employer in accordance with Section 616 BGB. However, this is only paid out for a few days. The association of single mothers and fathers therefore criticizes the fact that in times of the corona virus it must be possible to continue paying wages for the entire period of daycare and school closure . At this point, there is still a need for action on the part of the state.

Benefits for people who cannot pay their rent

Those who have too little money to pay their own rent due to the coronavirus pandemic * do not have to fear for their apartment . An aid package from the Federal Cabinet stipulates that apartments and commercial premises may not be canceled if debts accrue between April 1 and June 30 . The same applies to electricity, water, telephone and internet bills. It is important to talk to landlords and providers in good time about the situation. In all cases, you will also have to pay the debt later.
