Mother's pain: Emergency aid fought despite childcare obligations!

Mother's pain: Emergency aid fought despite childcare obligations!

In a sensational case from Linz, a double mother whose emergency aid from the labor market service (AMS) was canceled for eight weeks has successfully used legal help. The cause of the deletion was a job offer as a sales employee, which she could not accept because the start of work at 7 a.m. was an unimaginable agreement. Her three children, aged 12, 11 and 6, required flexible care that her husband could not offer due to his early working hours. The case made it clear how important it is to seek support from the Chamber of Labor in the event of problems with emergency help, as AK President Andreas Stangl emphasized. Thanks to the intervention of the Chamber of Labor, the negative decision was finally lifted and the woman received the services they are entitled to.

The effects of emergency aid

The emergency aid, which has been decisive for many affected people in Austria since July 1, 2018, is no longer counted towards the income of marriage or life partners. It ensures financial support for unemployment and is usually 95 % of the basic amount of unemployment benefit if certain requirements are met. Nevertheless, the regulation applies that the emergency aid is capped after a reference period of six months, which means that the amount cannot be unlimited. However, there are particularly cheap regulations for people over 45 years. Information on the application and the corresponding deadlines can be found on the Website of the Chamber of Labor, which offers valuable advice for those affected and their claims.

This situation not only shows the difficulties that many single parents are confronted with, but also the far -reaching importance of emergency aid in Austria. An accomplished handling of the regulations can be crucial in order not to be financially necessary in times of crisis, which is why the clarification of such claims as emergency aid is of the greatest importance. The Chamber of Labor is committed to ensuring that all beneficiaries can know and demand their claims, which was impressively demonstrated in this special case. Further details on the framework conditions and the application processes can be viewed directly on the website of the Chamber of Labor.
