Does the job center only reimburse travel expenses for the cheapest means of transport?

Hello, I am currently undergoing retraining and have been reimbursed for a €49 ticket for a year. I always drove to the neighboring village, about 3km away, and then took the train from there to my company.

We have to complete an internship for our retraining. Now I drive all the time, and my clerk asks if the car is necessary, since the position is accessible by public transport, right? According to the timetable, it's 25km, with a scheduled arrival time of 6:41 a.m. (planned arrival time is 7:49 a.m., duration: 1 hour, 8 minutes, 2 transfers). And 4:26 p.m. (planned arrival time is 5:15 p.m., duration: 49 minutes, 2 transfers). Is this a joke?

We have people from the DRV (German Public Transport Association) who have zero problems with travel expenses. Am I forced to take public transport, which is never on time anyway? I have responsibilities during my internship, and I can't just show up late. What time should I leave? Ideally, an hour earlier?

My caseworker is making me angry and I want to know where this arbitrariness comes from. Other people got their education voucher just like that, I had to fight for it and now the same thing happens with the costs. Are there any laws about this?

Do I have to use public transport? Can I drive? I need help!

A pendulum period of up to 3 hours from 6 hours a day is still reasonable, i.e. for the way back and forth.

Do you have to see if you come to more than 3 hours on a train earlier, if yes, it would no longer be reasonable and then the costs would also have to be recognized with your own vehicle.

These are indicative values and not chiseled in stone, there is almost always a discretionary margin.

Should be regulated at the Employment Agency in Paragraf 140 SGB – lll reasonable employment and if I am not mistaken at the Civil Money under SGB – ll from the Jobcenter in Paragraf 10 SGB – ll.

Just apply for a passenger car and wait for the job centre’s paper-writing decision.

As long as my school path as a student at the Gymnasium was also twice as long. In summer I drove a bike, 12 km a ride. I didn’t think so.

Welcome (back) in professional life. the problem of road costs and TIME has also been found by any other working person. Why this is supposed to be taken into account by the ones now would be a mystery to me.

Your decision whether to buy your life time at your own expense or not. The same dilemma has almost everyone else.

After all, you’ll get money. I don’t miss you anywhere, on the contrary.

But somewhere there must be equal right for everyone. Either it is (for all) reasonable to put so much free time in the way of work or not.
Why should those who already support you and and optionally have expensive or long-term paths, then get up (must) to get the shortest way financed?

In other words, why is DEINE’s lifetime worth more than those of others who are supposed to finance it? Not bad but honestly meant question.

siiiicher. Now that you are insulted because in this question not everyone stands behind you suddenly came the call that suddenly came after all the weeks you are right. Who believes. Have fun on the train

your comparison that every way is supposed to be equally reasonable for everyone, as someone with disabilities can run less far than anyone without, with otherwise identical conditions.

Are you disabled? Then you should have written that. You didn’t. Logically, I couldn’t relate to it. Then just write what you want out next time.

This must be done by many workers every day.

Why would someone pay you for this?

You have to make sure that you appear on time at work (by the way, it is also quite normal in the working world). So you know in advance that the train likes to be late, you have to take an earlier train.

What you describe is for many normal everyday life. In general, many employees complain about performance when they are now suddenly supposed to do something that is completely normal. For example, to finance his life himself from the money you deserve.

You still get money from the office, like rent, etc., or who’s up to date for your living?

Then you get training money and get away from the office. Consider that you have to pay the rent yourself.

I’m out of here.

So you live from the office and make a retraining that pays you the office and get money from the office for your living and complain that you get less?

Then you get training money and get away from the office. Consider that you have to pay the rent yourself.

Work paths up to 1.5 hours per way are reasonable.

So if you’re on the way with the open under an hour, it’s completely within the frame.

In addition, the way of work and also the expenses for this are in Germany the employee.

Ergo in my eyes you can look forward to every cent grant.

I drive to work 60 minutes a day – per tour. Big city, that’s normal.

Must change 2x at the moment, otherwise 1x.

The state pays only for the most necessary, not for convenience.

Sure you can drive. There’s no reason why others should pay you for your car driving.

You can take the PNV, he’ll be refunded to you. If this takes too long, you can drive at your own expense. Your decision.

others just got their educational voucher so I had to fight for it and now with the cost the same, are there any laws?

Didn’t read all the text, as he did little to the question.

  • You have – if I have read correctly – an educational voucher
  • The costs of the educational voucher are given, for example, by you travel costs.

If it is reasonable that the path to the educational establishment can also be deposited on foot, however, there is no cost of travel.

And yes, there is a law on services according to SGB II.

  • the one in it is “intermediate services” – with legal claim
  • the other are “Canna Guides” – without legal claim

Even if you don’t like it. Each individual “case/application” is checked individually.

After a lot of proactive for this, it’s bad luck and you have to take every dirt road…

If that’s your basic attitude when talking at JobCenter, I won’t be surprised.

  • The JobCenter must: Do not fulfill your wishes
  • the employees of the JobCenter are not responsible for your situation
  • the employees of the JobCenter they are not Your footsteps.

It doesn’t matter whether public or private. And you can get a refund if it goes to work from tax deduction. But can you also let a lawyer advise you on the subject
