Description
The Bielefeld Social Fund of the Solidarity Foundation for Unemployment and Poverty is aimed at seniors aged 60 and over residing in Bielefeld who receive basic security benefits under SGB XII and find themselves in an exceptional individual emergency. The goal is to provide up to €100 once a year through unbureaucratic individual assistance to alleviate financial burdens in the short term. A wide range of areas are in focus: from co-payments for medical care, sportswear for rehabilitation courses, to the repair of a household appliance or travel expenses for a visit to a relative. Through targeted support, the fund contributes to sustainably improving the participation and quality of life of those affected and actively counteracting old-age poverty.
Applications can be submitted at any time via local counseling centers or the social welfare office. Required are the completed standard application form, the notice of basic security benefits, and the stamp and signature of the supervising institution. Allocation is based on the urgency of the individual emergency, proof of eligibility, and the requested amount of up to €100. Granted as a subsidy, this funding enables seniors in precarious situations to receive quick, direct assistance without lengthy procedures. Interested counselors and social workers can easily forward the application and thus make an important contribution to strengthening the social participation of older people.
