Carinthia: Refurbishing of the Corona remuneration in front of time-consuming

The debate about the Corona remuneration in Carinthia takes new twists. Despite the continuing pressure and the approaching period by the end of the year, to process the open applications, anonymous symptoms have arisen in recent weeks that accuse the responsible authorities of wafing through certain applications without any detail. This information required immediate action by the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Nursing and Consumer Protection (BMSGPK), which then asked for information about possible irregularities.

In an official statement, the ministry announced random checks of the procedures and asked the state of Carinthia to submit reports from the district administration. These reactions underline the importance of compliance with transparency and fairness in the processes regarding the financial support for companies that are financially affected in pandemic.

Answers from the local authorities

After the first reviews, the state of Carinthia was temporarily alleviated. It was found that the authorities were not aware of any specific grievances in processing the applications. In addition, the administrative authorities emphasized that there were no instructions that led to not to thoroughly check applications under a certain amount. These clarifications should help to restore confidence in the processes and decisions of the authorities.

Previous feedback from the local authorities show that the reviews are not only necessary, but also valuable to prevent potential abuse or messy practices. Transparent handling is particularly important in times of crisis in order to ensure both the trust of the population and the effectiveness of the auxiliary measures.

The inquiries and inconsistencies are symptomatic of the challenges that both applicants and authorities have to overcome in this extraordinary period. With the deadline that is coming to an end, it remains to be seen whether all procedures can be completed in good time and what further steps are taken to improve transparency in the remuneration process.
