Jobcenter Vorpommern-Greifswald will be closed on June 18th!

Next Wednesday, June 18, 2025, the Vorpommern-Greifswald job center 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 job center's spokeswoman, Kerstin Herms. On this day, employees will not be available by phone, which encourages citizens to plan and consider their concerns and appointments in advance. But don't worry: online services, including application and appointment bookings, will continue to function smoothly on this day. Customers can access it at any time via the job center website to access important information about citizen's money and to use services.

The closure serves a staff meeting that is of great importance to the job center's employees. Given the large number of inquiries, it is worthwhile for citizens to keep in touch using digital options. This information has also been confirmed by wirinuer.de, so citizens are well informed when it comes to service availability.

Citizens' money and support

Another important aspect that is worth mentioning is the issue of citizens' money, which has replaced basic security since January 1, 2023. This system ensures a humane minimum subsistence level for those who cannot cover their living expenses from their own income. Eligible are employable people who do not receive sufficient priority benefits, including former claimants of unemployment benefit II or social benefit. Interesting to know: No new applications for citizen's benefit are required if you are already receiving benefits from the job center. For new interested parties, applications can easily be submitted online, increasing accessibility.

Regulations relating to citizens' money will also be tightened, as the standard requirements will increase from January 1, 2024. Here is a brief overview:

For families, an additional child supplement of 20 euros per month is granted for children and young people in standard needs levels 3 to 6. Income allowances will also be increased so that more people have the opportunity to get by on what they earn. Another novelty is the promotion of voluntary work, where up to 3,000 euros in expense allowance can be kept per year. All of this is intended to noticeably improve the living situation of those affected.

In view of these changes and the impending closure of the job center, it is important that those affected inform themselves in good time and, if necessary, clarify their concerns. The developments in basic security policy are clearly the focus and are intended to serve the well-being of citizens, especially in difficult life situations.
