Applying for Care Allowance: What You Need to Know

People with a care level are entitled to a monthly relief amount of 125 euros. The money can be used for services such as domestic help, short-term care, or group activities. This amount can also be saved, but unused amounts from the previous year expire after June 30. To receive the reimbursement, the costs must first be paid in advance and then the invoice submitted to the care insurance. A formal application is usually not required, some providers also settle directly with the care fund. The care fund or a care advisory center can help in finding recognized offers. It is also important to use the database of the Center for Quality in Care to find care advisory centers near you
