September Wohngeld Payment Lands in Accounts on August 29
The transfer is part of a newly published advance-payment calendar designed to align subsidy payouts with monthly rent obligations.
Overview
- Under §26 Wohngeldgesetz, the September subsidy will be paid in advance on the last business day of August, which falls on Friday, August 29.
- Applicants must submit updated forms and supporting documents—such as ID, rental contracts, and proofs of income—to municipal Wohngeldstellen or via official online portals.
- A 15 percent increase in Wohngeld took effect on January 1, 2025, boosting average monthly payments by about €30 for roughly 1.2 million low-income households.
- Fixed payout dates through December 2025 have been published to help recipients plan their rent and housing costs.
- Authorities warn against using third-party websites that charge fees without forwarding applications and advise sticking to authorised platforms.
