Restricted office hours in the social welfare office: help for Berliners in need!

From August 1, 2025, the district office in Neukölln in Berlin will occur due to the high number of cases and an increased sick leave. According to a current communication from the district office reports the changes to the basic security, help to livelihood and the asylum seeker benefits (SOZ 21). The restricted consultation hours apply until November 30, 2025.

During this time, personal discussion will only be possible in special cases, including:

  • acute centrality
  • acute apartment or homelessness
  • Cost transfer for regulatory assigned accommodations
  • impending performance restrictions due to premium arrears at the health insurance company
  • when presenting a appointment slip of SOZ 21

justification for the measures

The need for these measures results from a large number of open cases and the psychological stress due to attacks on the employees. This Situation leads to a deficit in processing and an increase in the number of cases, which ultimately also strongly influenced the service.

concerns of those affected can continue to be directed to the district office by email, by post or by phone. It is recommended to use the platform of the Berliner Service to obtain information about help that is at risk of losing the apartment or missing living opportunities.
