Getrenntlebende Eltern im Grundsicherungsbezug entlasten - Umgangsmehrbedarf einführen

This proposal seeks to introduce a 'contact allowance' (Umgangsmehrbedarf) for separated parents who receive basic social security benefits. It aims to ensure that parents have the necessary financial means to maintain a meaningful relationship and regular contact with their children. The change would primarily benefit low-income separated parents in Germany, providing them with extra financial support to cover the costs associated with visiting and caring for their children.
