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".
• Undercoverage of the number of recipents of "assistance for the integration of disabled persons" on 31 December 2019 in individual administrative districts (Kreise) and towns not attached to an administrative district (kreisfreie Städte) in North Rhine-Westphalia.
