Hartz IV recipients receive a subsidy of 200 euros due to high inflation.

But this has not yet reached all Hartz IV recipients.

Munich – As part of the federal government's relief package, there is also extra money for Hartz IV recipients.

You will receive a one-time payment of 200 euros.

At least on paper.

Because the money is not yet in the account of all Hartz IV recipients - even though the payment date was actually in July.

Hartz IV: one-time payment is delayed

In Hartz IV forums, reports from those affected who have not yet received the 200 euros are piling up.

But why is the money so long in coming?

As the information portal

reports, this is due to the responsible job centers.

If these are operated jointly with the municipality and the employment agency, or if the payment is made via the central office of the Federal Employment Agency, it often takes longer.

Hartz IV one-off payment not yet on the account: those affected can do that

But what can recipients do to get the money as quickly as possible?

Those affected can remind the payment at the job center.

It is important that this is done in writing and that an emergency deadline is set.

If this period has expired and the money is still not there, the payment can be sued by means of an injunction.

Hartz IV: A deadline can also be set for an immediate award

The same can be done with the immediate surcharge for children and young people.

This special payment of 20 euros can also be claimed in this way.

After all, money is urgently needed in many families.

As calculations show, the bonus has already fizzled out due to high inflation.
