The Hartz IV subsidy will be paid out in July 2022 - according to Lindner, the standard rates of basic security in the new relief package will then be adjusted in 2023.

Berlin – The call for new relief from politicians is getting louder and the majority of Germans are dissatisfied with what they have received so far in the relief package.

But although the CSU, the left and also the Greens and the SPD have already called for new financial aid for the citizens, Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) is putting Germany off with a new relief package for the coming year.

In the course of this, the standard rates for basic security for 2023 are also to be adjusted upwards.

But Hartz IV recipients can look forward to a bonus very soon: the Hartz IV subsidy of 200 euros is to be paid out at the beginning of July.

Third relief package according to Lindner only in 2023 - but with higher Hartz IV standard rates

Prices have been increasing noticeably in almost all areas of German everyday life for weeks.

That is why Markus Söder from the CSU has already called for a new relief package, with which pensioners should also receive the 300 euro energy flat rate.

Because the relief packages that have been approved this year are not enough for many people.

But Lindner does not want to put together a third relief package until next year, since "new budget funds are no longer available this year," the FDP politician told

and continued: "There will be another relief package in 2023.

In any case, the standard rates for basic security will be adjusted upwards – that helps those who need it the most.”

When is the Hartz IV bonus paid out?

200 euros subsidy for Hartz IV recipients end up in July on the account

In addition, the FDP boss emphasized that the measures of the relief packages that had already been decided, with the exception of the fuel discount and the nine-euro ticket, had not yet arrived - which is correct.

Because the energy flat rate, the child bonus and the Hartz IV subsidy from the relief package 2022 are still being paid out.

It is questionable whether the satisfaction of Germans and politicians will increase when the remaining payments from the 2022 relief package, such as the energy flat rate of 300 euros, make themselves felt.

, Lindner is

of the opinion: "A family of four in which both parents work is relieved with the EEG surcharge, child bonus and employee allowance alone with over 1000 euros.

It all comes first. We should let it sink in first.”
