Can we pay for it?
Is this a good offer?
Please talk to your personal contact person about this.
What does earning capacity mean?
You can work at least 3 hours a day?

Or for the journey to a job interview.
You cannot pay the costs yourself?
Then the Stuttgart Job Center will help you with the costs.
The important thing is:
You have to apply for the support!
You must do this before the costs arise.
You will not get the money afterwards.
I receive benefits from the job center.
Am I then entitled to vacation?
You receive unemployment benefit 2.
Then you have no legal right to vacation.
Because it is more important:
You find a job or training.
That is why the job center must be able to reach you.
But you can tell the job center:
I am not at home during this time.
I am going somewhere else.
We also call this: absence from the place.

Do you receive benefits only from August, for example?
Then you have less than 21 days for the rest of the year.
Sundays and holidays also count toward the 21 days.
For example:
You want to go away from Monday to Sunday.
Then you have to tell the job center:
I will not be there on these 7 days.
Then you have used up 7 of your 21 days.
Tell your personal contact person
before you leave!
