Entschädigung nach dem Infektionsschutzgesetz Gewährung für Ersatz nicht gedeckter Betriebsausgaben

Have you had to close your business or practice due to an activity ban or quarantine? Here you will find information on how to be reimbursed for continuing non-covered operating costs.

In the event of a ban on activities or a quarantine, as a self-employed person or self-employed person, in addition to the claim for compensation for loss of earnings, you also have a claim for reimbursement of continuing non-covered operating expenses, such as rent or loans.

This only applies to operating expenses that cannot be avoided.

In addition, you must keep operating costs as low as possible.

Reimbursement will be made to a reasonable extent.

This is a so-called "optional benefit". This means that the authority has leeway to assess whether a claim exists and how high it is.

• Request
• Evidence of current operating costs not covered
• Proof of payment
• Proof of the official ban on activities or official segregation

  preferably letter of rejection, alternatively laboratory test result

In the event of quarantine or a ban on activities, you are entitled to compensation for continuing non-covered business expenses if

• you are self-employed
• your business or practice is suspended during the activity ban or quarantine
• you are entitled to compensation for loss of earnings, and
• this measure has led to a threat to your existence.
