Guaranteed minimum resources in Austria 2017
July 2017, MMag.aBarbara Hauenschild, Robert Pelikan BA, 18 pages
The needs-oriented guaranteed minimum resources was introduced as a largely uniform benefit in all Austrian states in 2010. Since 2017, this nation-wide agreement has ceased to exist and the differences in the level of minimum allowance and waiting periods are increasing in Austria’s federal states. Lower Austria, Upper Austria and the Burgenland have introduced a “light”-version for people who have not spent 5 of the last 6 years in Austria, as well as a cap at 1,500 euros for families.
