CDU is taking action against “total refusers” to citizens’ money: This is how many people are then affected. It is not yet possible to draw a comprehensive picture of citizens' money in comparison to Hartz IV.
In 2021, 52,174 cases of benefit reductions were registered due to “refusal to take up or continue work, training, measures or a supported employment relationship” This represented almost 27 percent of all benefit cuts this year, but represents a significant decline.
