With the residence title according to Section 24 of the AufenthG, refugees from Ukraine usually also receive a work permit and access to funding opportunities from the Employment Agency. It is advisable to take advantage of counselling at the employment agency and register as a jobseeker. Advice on specific funding opportunities can also be obtained there. Currently, people receive benefits under the Asylum Seekers' Benefits Act if they are in need.
Important new development: According to a decision of 7 April 2022, individuals will be transferred to the job centre as of 1 June 2022 and, like recognised refugees, will receive basic benefits. Employment promotion and health care will then also be handled by the job centres. In this case, a consultation appointment should be arranged.
Recognition
In the context of employment promotion, it is advisable to have your qualifications from your home country recognised. The relevant authorities are responsible for this. The IQ Netzwerk Sachsen-Anhalt [IQ Network Saxony-Anhalt] provides advice and support in this case. A consultation appointment the recognition of qualifications should be scheduled. Under the right conditions, costs for the recognition processes can be covered.
