New deadline for heating cost support: Application must be submitted earlier in 2024.. As of: February 9, 2024, 1:16 p.m By: Amy Walker CommentsPressSplit This year too, those in need can submit an application for citizens' benefit if they are overwhelmed by heating costs.

This is a kind of ‘heating subsidy’ from the state. Last year, applications for a one-off citizen's allowance could be submitted up to three months after the heating bill was due. In 2024, those entitled only have one month left, as the consumer portal reports, citing the Berlin job centers.
