- Workers' Safeguard Proposal by Commission for Limiting Exposure Risks from Cancer-Causing Agents
In a recent announcement, Bas, the German Minister, has declared a firm commitment to tackle social security fraud. This determination is reflected in the ongoing reform of basic security, a move that promises to significantly improve the current situation.
The reform is designed to enhance data exchange between the federal government, states, and municipalities. This expanded cooperation will involve entities such as immigration authorities, job centres, and security authorities, all working together to combat organised benefit fraud more effectively.
The goal of this data exchange reform is systematically to combat organised benefit fraud, a persistent issue that has long plagued the German social security system. By improving the flow of information between various levels of government, the reform aims to identify and address instances of fraud more efficiently.
The coalition government is currently preparing several social reform draft laws as part of a broader 'immediate program'. Among these draft laws is the expected reform of basic security (Grundsicherung), which is set to be presented in autumn 2025, with implementation planned from January 1, 2026.
Other reforms already underway include pension legislation, measures to strengthen occupational pensions, and the establishment of a social state commission aimed at simplifying housing benefits, child supplements, and citizen's income. These ongoing reforms, along with the anticipated reform of basic security, are all part of the government's strategy to modernise and strengthen the German social security system.
With these reforms, the German government aims to create a more efficient and effective system that can better serve its citizens, while also ensuring that benefits are distributed fairly and honestly. The anticipated improvements are a welcome development for the German social security system and its millions of beneficiaries.
