Krankenhilfe nach §40 SGB VIII Gewährung

§ 40 Social Code, Volume VIII (SGB VIII)
www.gesetze-im-internet.de/sgb_8/__40.html

Children or young people in foster families or in residential child and youth welfare facilities are entitled to medical assistance. Parents in shared accommodation for parents and children may also be entitled to medical assistance.

Children, adolescents and young adults who live in foster families, children's homes, individual care or similar forms of social care or who are in a similar life situation are entitled to health care assistance. Single mothers or fathers who look after a child under the age of six alone and live with the child in a shared accommodation arrangement for mothers/fathers/children may also be entitled to health care assistance.

Medical assistance is comparable to the services provided by a statutory health insurance company. Medical assistance is granted to you if you do not have any other health insurance or if it does not cover all the necessary costs. If medical assistance is approved, the responsible body will cover the costs of your medical care.

If you need medical assistance, you must submit an application to the relevant authority.

First, it is sufficient for you to submit your application. The responsible authority will then request the documents required in your specific case from you.

• You do not have health insurance coverage or it does not cover your medical care needs
• You belong to the group of persons entitled to benefits
  • Children, adolescents or young adults who live in a foster family or in a residential child and youth welfare facility (“children’s home”).
  • Children and young people who have been (temporarily) taken into care by the Youth Welfare Office,

  • Mothers or fathers who care for a child under the age of six alone and live with the child in a shared accommodation arrangement for mothers/fathers/children
  • Children who live with their mother or father in a shared accommodation for mothers/fathers and children

• You submit your informal application.
• The responsible authority will examine your application and, if necessary, request any necessary documents or information from you.
