Stettner announces allowance for employees of independent providers. Around two thirds of the so-called grant recipients benefit from the social and educational allowance.

Providers that receive grants from the state can now submit applications for the corresponding financial compensation to the responsible approval offices. This also applies to a tax-free inflation compensation bonus totaling 3,000 euros. Only very high salary groups are excluded from the allowance, which is paid up to a certain salary level. The allowance should not be confused with the capital allowance of 150 euros per month, which many employees in Berlin's public sector have been receiving since November 2020.
