Job Center Vorpommern-Greifswald remains closed on June 18!

Next Wednesday, June 18, 2025, the Job Center Vorpommern-Greifswald will be closed all day at all seven locations. The branches in Greifswald, Wolgast, Anklam, Pasewalk, Torgelow, Ueckermünde and Strasburg are affected. This was announced by the spokeswoman for the job center, Kerstin Herms. On this day, employees cannot be reached by phone, which asks the citizens to plan and take their concerns and appointments into account in advance. But don't worry: online services, including application and appointment bookings, continue to work smoothly on this day. Customers can access this at any time via the website of the job center to call up important information about the citizens' benefit and use services.

The closure serves a staff meeting that is of great importance for the job centers' employees. In view of the multitude of inquiries, it is worthwhile for citizens to keep in touch with the digital possibilities. This information was also confirmed by wirinuer.de, so that the citizens are well informed when it comes to service availability.

Citizens' allowance and support

Another important aspect that needs to be mentioned is the topic of citizenship benefit, which has replaced basic security since January 1, 2023. This system ensures a decent subsistence level for those who cannot cover their livelihood from their own incomes. Persons who do not receive sufficient priority are entitled, including former entitlements of unemployment benefit II or social benefit. Interesting to know: No new applications for the citizens' benefit are required if benefits are already received by the job center. For new interested parties, the applications can simply be made online, which increases accessibility.

Regulations related to the citizens' allowance are also tightened, since the standard requirements increase from January 1, 2024. Here is a brief overview:

For families, a child's excess surcharge of 20 euros per month is also granted for children and adolescents in standard requirements 3 to 6. The allowances for income are also increased, so that more people have the opportunity to get along with their earned. Another novelty is the promotion of voluntary activities, where up to 3,000 euros can be kept per year. All of this has the intention of noticeably improving the life situation of those affected.
