Social participation services are intended to enable or support people with disabilities or at risk of disability to live as self-determined, equally and independently as possible in their own living space as well as in their social space.

Social participation benefits are intended to enable or support people with disabilities or at risk of disability to live as self-determined, equally and independently as possible in their own living space as well as in their social space.

Benefits for social participation are in particular:

• Benefits for living space (§ 76 para. 2 no. 1)
• Assistance services (§ 76 para. 2 no. 2)
• Curative education benefits (§ 76 para. 2 no. 3)
• Benefits for care in a foster family (§ 76 par. 2 no. 4)
• Services for the acquisition and maintenance of practical knowledge and skills (section 76(2)(5))
• Benefits to promote understanding (§ 76, Subsection 2, No. 6)
• Benefits for mobility (§ 76 para. 2 No. 7)
• aids (§ 76 para. 2 no. 8)

An application must be submitted to the responsible rehabilitation provider.

A disability within the meaning of § 2 SGB IX must exist, occur or be threatened, but not only temporarily (at least six months).

Otherwise, there are specific prerequisites depending on the type of benefit applied for. The prerequisites for support are checked by specialists from the social welfare agencies or other rehabilitation agencies (for example, statutory pension insurance).

No costs or fees are incurred for the actual approval of the service. For some types of services, however, a co-payment is required. Whether and how high this co-payment is varies from benefit to benefit.

An application must be submitted to the responsible rehabilitation provider.

Rehabilitation carriers for the provision of benefits for social participation can be according to § 6 SGB IX:

• the statutory accident insurance institutions (e.g. employers' liability insurance associations, public sector accident insurance institutions), if the disability has arisen as a result of an accident at work, an accident at school or on the way there, or in the case of an occupational disease
• the institutions for the care of war victims and the institutions for the care of war victims within the framework of the law of social compensation in the case of health damage, e.g. in the case of war and military service damage, vaccination damage or consequences of acts of violence (e.g. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Office for Health and Social Affairs (LAGuS) - Pension Office, Main Welfare Office or the local welfare offices at the counties and independent cities)
• the agencies responsible for public youth welfare (youth welfare offices of the counties and independent cities)
• the agencies responsible for integration assistance (in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the independent towns and districts), if no other agency is responsible for a disability and there is a need.

Pursuant to Section 76 (1) of Book IX of the Social Code, funding can only be considered if no benefits are provided in accordance with the

Chapter 9 SGB IX - Benefits for medical rehabilitation,

Chapter 10 SGB IX - Benefits for participation in working life,

Chapter 11 SGB IX - Maintenance and other supplementary benefits as well as according to the

Chapter 12 of Book IX of the Social Code - Benefits for participation in education

are provided.

Disabled people or people at risk of disability are entitled to benefits that enable or facilitate their equal participation in life in the community. Possible disadvantages are thus to be avoided or compensated for.
