I am desperate!!! I can’t pay my rent, because I again have been sanctioned in my cash assistance. It is soon closer to the rule than the exception.

I have no requests received in my e-box, and I am not absent from any conversations.

I also have not received physical letters from the job centre, nor any phone calls. So it is quite impossible that I should have missed a meeting or anything that makes, that I should not have got my cash assistance.

that because of the corona is closed, all the places, it also applies to the job centre.

They say that you can always get in touch with them over the phone, but I can’t get through to my sagbehandler, even though this was supposed to be by his phone and work from home.

And when I call the main number, they become completely confused and asks me around. I had to give up after an hour, where I had been moved around, without anyone could say anything.

I was about to smash my fist into the wall! But it helps me not to get paid my rent …

I’m so tired of hiding behind coronaepidemien. It is a free game for them, but what about us, who are dependent on the system? It is my home, is at stake!

Where can I go, when the municipality again fail?

Yes, it is a wild time which, depending on the social system. There has been political focus on the fact that you may not forget them on the transfer, while – as you mention – everything is put out of operation, including everything that is related to the employment activities.

at the time Of writing, it seems that large parts of the Danish public sector is closed until 8. June 2020 – but maybe we should totally check in genåbningens stage 4, where the plan is that the Danish public sector only really open again until august 2020 –depending on the development.

the minister of Employment, however, has said that all that is covered by the rules on the need to participate actively in employment policy offers in order to receive help after aktivloven, is put in abeyance. So as a recipient of cash assistance, you can legally not be sanctioned due to no show here in the coronakrisen.

a special rådgivningstelefon in the social field. The I would call to get advice, if I couldn’t get through to, for example, my case officer. The line is addressed to employees in the social area, but I would not hesitate to call anyway in your situation. You will find the number at the bottom of the page.

Alternatively, I would address myself directly to the minister for employment Peter Hummelgaard in the mail: ministeren@bm.dk to get the answers to, which in these times can get help, if the municipality does not pay one’s performance? Especially when everything is closed, and no one takes the phone.

get answers or address someone, you must write to me again.

Further, I would advise you to contact your building society and tell them that the municipality has clocked in it, but enough to get your rent as quickly as possible – more so they don’t throw you on the street.
