Wegen des Corona-Virus gibt es neue Regeln für Kurzarbeit: Dein Arbeitgeber kann, unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen, Kurzarbeit bei der zuständigen Agentur für Arbeit beantragen. Deinen Lohn bekommst Du weiterhin von Ihrem Arbeitgeber und nicht von der Agentur für Arbeit. Eine Tabelle zur Berechnung des Kurzarbeitergeldes findest Du auf der Website der Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Wichtig: Auch Personen, die in der Leiharbeit tätig sind, können Kurzarbeitergeld bekommen! Es gibt kein Kurzarbeitergeld für Beschäftigte, die einen Minijob haben.
You can get the supplementary child allowance if your income is sufficient for your own livelihood, but it is not or only barely sufficient to cover the entire needs of your family. By receiving the supplementary child allowance it should be avoided that you have to apply for unemployment benefit at the job center only because of your children. Contrary to the general child benefit (Kindergeld), which all families receive regardless of income, the amount of the supplementary child allowance depends on income. For example, if you now receive less salary because of short-time work, you can apply for the supplementary child allowance online. You can obtain a surcharge of maximum 185 € per child a month. With the app KiZ-Lotse you can check how much supplementary child allowance you will obtain.
