Comment(s)

• Starting from 2020: Because the integration assistance was transferred to SGB IX on 1 January 2020, the recipients of integration help are no longer included in the "Statistics of recipients of assistance according to chapter 5 - 9 SGB XII" but separately recorded in the "Statistics of recipients of integration help according to SGB IX".
