Offices for social assistance across Germany

Follow the application’s individual evidence requests; prepare identification and information about household, income, assets and housing costs. Submit document copies, not originals, and add your customer or household case number if known. Keep the online submission receipt. For acute lack of money for food, there is an emergency consultation at Richard-Wagner-Platz 5, Monday–Friday 08:30–10:30, with valid ID and a current bank statement; any advance or loan remains subject to assessment. Postal documents go to Jobcenter Nürnberg-Stadt, Richard-Wagner-Platz 5, 90443 Nürnberg. Since 1 July 2026, SGB (German Social Code) II cash support is called Grundsicherungsgeld. You may still see the older name Bürgergeld on some forms and letters. Existing decisions remain valid; do not submit a new claim solely because the benefit was renamed. Official forms and online services may still show the old name during the transition. Continue to follow your own renewal dates, evidence requests and change-reporting duties.

Prepare ID/passport, evidence of income and assets, tenancy agreement, rent/heating costs and existing insurance. Ask which pension or work-capacity documents apply to you. Send the completed forms and requested evidence through the city’s secure upload assistant or by post, following the consultation. Uploading follow-up documents is not the same as submitting a complete new application. Postal address: Stadt Nürnberg, Amt für Existenzsicherung und soziale Integration – Wirtschaftliche Hilfen, Postfach 900380, 90494 Nürnberg; the visitor address is different.
