Description
The Family Hospice Leave Hardship Compensation offers nationwide, income-dependent monthly support for private individuals who take complete leave from their salary under family hospice leave to accompany dying relatives or to support severely ill children. Complementing the care leave allowance, the grant aims to prevent exceptional hardship cases and ensure financial security in this stressful exceptional situation. The amount of funding is based on the weighted household income and is calculated using a threshold value of 1,200 euros per month. Applications can be submitted at any time during the duration of the family hospice leave, enabling unbureaucratic and timely relief.
Eligible for funding are all private individuals with an average household income below the specified limit who take family hospice leave without pay. For the application, the officially prescribed application form as well as proof of all income and transfer payments (e.g., alimony, minimum social benefits) are required. The application processing office is Section VI – Family and Youth in the Federal Chancellery, which is responsible for information, consultation, and processing. Interested parties will find reliable support here to avoid additional financial worries during an emotionally and organizationally demanding phase of their family responsibilities.
