EU foreigners living in Germany may soon have to wait five years before qualifying for social benefits, reported newspapers from the Funke Media group on Thursday, in reference to a new proposed law from German Labor Minister Andrea Nahles.
"We have to stop immigration into the social security system," Nahles said during an interview in December when she announced plans to restrict social benefits for non-German EU citizens. She added that the restrictions were a matter of "self defense" for Germany.
Should the law pass, foreigners from fellow EU member states will be strictly excluded from social assistance if they do not work in Germany or have not acquired social security rights through previous work in Germany.
With those same conditions, EU foreigners would also be shut out from Germany's benefit system for the unemployed, which is known as "Hartz IV."
EU citizens can eventually gain access to social benefits - but only if they have been living in Germany for five years without state assistance.
'Transition benefits' and a trip home
The draft law, however, provides so-called "transition benefits" for those EU foreigners who no longer qualify for social assistance in Germany. For a maximum of four weeks, those affected will receive assistance to cover the costs of food, housing, and health care.
