englischThe existence of the basic right to a humane minimum subsistence level was explicitly upheld by the German Federal Constitutional Court. Since the Courts’ ruling from February 9, 2010, the debate on the constitutionality of sanctions within the German Social Code (Book II – Basic Income for Jobseekers) has gained momentum. The Social Court Gotha, numerous associations and political parties champion the abolition or at least the weakening of consequential sanctions.

In this book, the author analyses the compatibility of benefit reduction with the German Basic Law as well as the determination of the sanction’s amount considering the “Rate of Needs Determination Act” (Regelbedarfsermittlungsgesetz (RBEG)). The detailed discussion of disputed sanction cases provides relevant practical insights. Additionally, the author takes a stand on the legal possibilities job centres have regarding benefit recipients who repeatedly miss appointments. The author – who has been working for the Federal Employment Agency for several years – advocates efficient enabling provisions.
