Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and the state prime ministers recently agreed on the introduction of a payment card instead of cash payments.
Then there were concerns - until now.
Berlin - The dispute over a federal regulation for a payment card for asylum seekers has been resolved.
The German Press Agency learned from government circles that a corresponding formulation aid from the Federal Ministry of Labor should be decided by the cabinet tomorrow in a circulation procedure.
Recently there were concerns among the Greens.
The Federal Ministry of Economics, led by the Greens, now said: “The payment card makes sense to prevent money from being transferred abroad.
Accordingly, the formulation aid for the introduction of a nationwide uniform legal basis for the payment card is approved.” “Bild” and the news portal “Table Media” previously reported on this.
