New Videos Offer Clarification on Accessing BuT Benefits in Rhein-Kreis Neuss

The district social welfare office in Rhein-Kreis Neuss has released a series of videos to help families understand the updated process for accessing Bildungs- und Teilhabepaket (BuT) benefits, following the change from direct payments or voucher issuance to cash benefits as of spring 2022.

The videos, designed for interested families, provide an overview of the new system and offer guidance on how to apply for and manage BuT benefits. Each video focuses on a specific type of benefit, with additional information provided for each. The videos are available on the website [www.rhein-kreis-neuss.de/but].

The introductory video offers general guidance on the new cash benefit approach, while the subsequent videos delve into the details of the application process, self-administration, and documentation requirements. The new videos also cover digital options for applying for benefits and submitting documents, making it easier for families to access the support they need.

School or kindergarten meals, tutoring, class trips, and social and cultural participation through club membership or music lessons were previously covered under the BuT benefits, which were provided through vouchers or direct payments. Now, families receive the BuT benefits as a cash transfer directly into their bank account, allowing them to use the funds flexibly to cover costs defined under the program.

Families no longer need to present forms to the providers and are responsible for paying the providers' invoices themselves. The bureaucratic effort for families has been significantly reduced, making it easier for them to access the support they need.

For precise and current details on the Rhein-Kreis Neuss procedures, contacting the local Amt für Soziales or Jobcenter directly or checking their official website would be necessary, as local implementations can vary. English versions of the videos will be published soon.

For families who may find the process confusing, the videos serve as a valuable resource, offering clear and concise explanations of the new system. By taking advantage of these resources, families can ensure they are accessing the educational and participation benefits they are entitled to.
