Benefits for Ukrainians in Germany are planned to be canceled

As Minister of Labor of Germany Barbel Bas stated, basic social security allowance for refugees from Ukraine will be cancelled. Bas made this statement in connection with a draft law on the abolition of the basic social allowance of the Bürgergeld for refugees from Ukraine who arrived in Germany after April 1, 2025 and the payment of a smaller allowance for asylum seekers, considered in the Bundestag. The German government previously approved the relevant bill.
Also, the Minister states that the abolition of basic social benefits for newly arrived Ukrainian refugees in Germany will change their legal status.
According to the data, more than 1.2 million Ukrainian citizens have entered Germany. Nevertheless, the Federal employment Agency reports that only about 360 thousand of them are employed for November. Moreover, the German Ministry of Social Security spent about 6.4 billion euros on basic social security for Ukrainian refugees in 2024.
