New rules for displaced persons: This is how basic care changes!

In Austria there will be fundamental changes in basic care for displaced persons from Ukraine from January 2025. The federal states are discussing the introduction of new guidelines that would prescribe refugees to sell their vehicles in order to obtain claims. According to a report by the "Standard", the coordination council of the federal and state governments decided this regulation, but Vienna has decided to go a different way and maintain individual cases. This means that the ownership of expensive cars will continue to be included in the decision. Anyone who drives a less prestigious vehicle has better chances of basic care, while people with comparatively wealthy means of transport are not taken into account if they have enough money for fuel and insurance, according to the reasoning from other federal states.

The situation promotes a dramatic increase in basic services in Austria, especially since the beginning of Russian aggression against Ukraine. In November, around 70,400 people were dependent on this support, with over 53 percent of the Ukraine. The legal foundations to support these displaced people are regulated by the "displaced regulation", which granted special access to education, medical care and the labor market, such as Niederoesterreich.gv.at reported. A large number of information offers are provided for refugees whose right of residence until March 4, 2025, both in German and Ukrainian, to facilitate their integration.

For basic care, displaced people must make an application to the respective district administration, which is also possible online. It is crucial to report the residence properly. A successful application requires the evidence of Ukrainian nationality and other relevant information, while an asylum application is not necessary. These regulations are intended to ensure that people in need are supported in an appropriate manner while potential abuse can be recognized at the same time.
