In times when energy prices continue to rise, it is necessary to question your own consumer behaviour. It is important to know exactly how and where energy can be saved. Stadtwerke München and the Bavarian Consumer Advice Center offer energy advice on this topic. Use them and not only save energy costs, but also CO2 at the same time.
If you are currently receiving money from the Jobcenter, you will already receive financial support for electricity via the lump sums calculated for this in your standard requirements. Additional payments for electricity are not included in the cash benefits from the Jobcenter.
Please transfer your monthly electricity pre-payments independently to your utility company.
If you are unable to pay your electricity pre-payments, please contact your utility company promptly. You can also take advantage of the counselling services in the social community centers. This way you avoid high costs for reminder fees, late payment surcharges or, in the worst case, enforcement costs.
Have you received the annual electricity bill from your energy supplier and are unable to pay the arrears yourself? Then submit the annual statement with an application for assumption of costs to the Jobcenter München via jobcenter.digital.
We will check whether we can assume a loan if the other requirements for basic security benefits are met. You can find out about the other requirements here.
Not only are electricity costs rising, but also the cost of heating the home. In addition to payments on account, this also includes the purchase of fuels such as heating oil, coal or pellets. If you receive cash benefits from the Jobcenter, submit proof from your landlord or the utility company of the increase in your advance heating cost payments or the invoice for the fuel purchase to the Jobcenter via jobcenter.digital.
If you are not currently receiving citizen’s income but your income is too low to pay the arrears on your annual heating bill, you can apply for funding from the Heat Fund from 16.01.2023. Anyone who lives in the city of Munich and receives a heating bill can submit an application. You can find out where you can apply, who can help you with the application and who exactly is eligible on the SWM homepage.
Is the financial burden on your home so high that you can no longer secure it from your own income?
