Eingliederungsprüfung

Eingliederungsprüfung is a term used in German social law, particularly within the context of unemployment benefits and integration assistance. It refers to the process by which an individual's eligibility for certain reintegration measures or benefits is assessed. This examination typically takes place when an individual is unemployed and seeking support from the Jobcenter or Agentur für Arbeit to re-enter the labor market.

The purpose of an Eingliederungsprüfung is to determine the most suitable and effective path for an individual's integration. This involves evaluating their skills, qualifications, work experience, health status, and personal circumstances. Based on this assessment, a personalized integration plan may be developed, outlining specific support services, training programs, job search activities, or other measures designed to help the person find suitable employment.

The Eingliederungsprüfung ensures that public resources are used efficiently and that individuals receive tailored support. It is a crucial step in the process of receiving benefits like Arbeitslosengeld I or II (unemployment benefit I or II) and accessing vocational training, job placement services, or subsidies for employment. The outcome of the Eingliederungsprüfung can influence the types of support offered and the obligations placed upon the individual to actively participate in their reintegration process.
