Verdienstausfallentschädigung bei Mehrkosten beantragen

If your existence is at risk as a result of a loss of earnings in accordance with Section 56 (1) or (1a) IfSG, you can be reimbursed for additional expenses to a certain extent upon application.

The Infection Protection Act (IfSG) protects the population in Germany. It also provides financial compensation for people affected by the protective measures.

If you are quarantined at home or banned from working as a result of an official measure on the basis of the Infection Protection Act and suffer a loss of earnings as a result, you are generally entitled to compensation for the loss of earnings incurred.

In the event of a threat to their existence, the additional expenses incurred during the loss of earnings may also be reimbursed to an appropriate extent by the competent authority upon application.

Payment and application shall be made in writing to the competent authority. The application for compensation must be submitted retroactively within 2 years from the start of the ban on activity or the end of quarantine.
