In the past year, more people in Saxony have objected to their citizen's allowance notification. The job centers in the state received 35,626 objections, according to the regional directorate of the Federal Employment Agency. This was almost 4,300 more than in 2024. 3,762 complaints were also filed - around 300 more than in the previous year.
Less appeals in the long term
Looking at the longer-term trend, however, a significant decline can be observed: in 2015, the job centers recorded almost 62,000 appeals and around 13,000 complaints against the then unemployment benefit II. Last year, the most frequent complaints were about decisions to offset income or assets, the calculation of accommodation costs and the revocation and reimbursement of citizens' allowance.
