Jobcenter

The Jobcenter administers Bürgergeld: it pays your living costs and rent and supports you in finding work. You must attend its appointments (Meldetermine) — missing one without a good reason can cut your benefit by 10%. Always respond to its letters, and hand in documents with a stamped receipt or by registered mail as proof.

In plain German

Die Behörde, die Bürgergeld zahlt und bei der Jobsuche hilft.
