Is there parental benefit when I receive Hartz IV?
The unemployment pay II, briefly ALG II or Hartz IV, is to finance the subsistence level for humans in Germany. In theory, Hartz IV recipients are entitled to parental benefits. In practice however the parents money is taken into account on the Hartz IV, so that parents go out in principle empty. A possibility on up to 300.00€ parents money monthly have the receivers of the ALG II, which worked until shortly before the birth. In this case the parents money depends on the income shortly before the birth, with 200, 00€ average salary, the Hartz IV receivers receive then 200, 00€ parents money in the month.
