Ministry of Labour: Government wants to stop organised social cheating
Social benefits are to be less exploited in the future. Minister of Labour Bärbel Bas has now presented an action plan to this end. This also involves run-down properties.
The German government plans to take tougher action against organized abuse of social benefits and exploitation of immigrants from EU countries. Federal Minister of Labor Bärbel Bas has presented an action plan to tackle the issue, which is set to be approved by the cabinet in September. The plan targets "scrap properties" - run-down apartments and houses rented out at high prices to social benefit recipients - and aims to prevent organized structures that exploit immigrants.
The government also wants to improve data exchange between authorities and use AI-powered analysis systems to detect potential abuse.
