Reimbursement of costs from the employment agency for a laptop?

I have a question, I have been unemployed for 2 weeks and wanted to ask whether you know whether the employment agency will cover the costs for a laptop? Because I want to write the applications from home.

No, they don't do that. Not an expensive laptop twice.

In this case, you are (also) advised to use the publicly accessible computers (if available) in the employment office building.

Optionally, it can also be handwritten, although I have now often heard (employment office / job center / employer / …) that the chances are very slim in modern times that you even give a handwritten application a chance.

But there's also phone acquisition, or sometimes going to a company in person, the latter shows particular interest, as one tries at least to inquire personally on site. That makes an impression.

In "normal" times you will then be informed that you can easily submit your applications at the career information center.

And after two weeks you will at most be sent to an application measure.

Nothing even 100-200 euro because I don't necessarily want to go public because of corona

I don't want that because of corona, so my question, thank you for the nice answer👌🏼

Why can't you write it by hand?

In addition: why an expensive laptop?

For 50 euro you can buy older, used PCs with which you can write an application without any problems.

In the end I even disposed of my PC because nobody wanted it. That would have been good enough for you. Just take a look at Ebay / Ebay classifieds. Maybe someone is even giving away their older PC.

A PC is not enough. You also need a printer!

Not even 0.01 euro ;-)

As hard as it sounds, the employment office doesn't care how you get your applications. Depending on the employment office, you will also receive suitable offers from them by post. There you can find the phone number and the address of the company where you should apply, and the argument "couldn't, no laptop, to apply!" not at all.

Apart from that, how do you actually take part in the Girlfriend community? You could apply in the same way.

By hand you no longer have a chace they want to have everything printed out no longer by handwriting

I don't want to get an expensive one for me something good but don't want 1000 euro of them or just a little that I then pay the rest of my savings myself. Just thought maybe they'd add a little something

I take part here with a cell phone.

Unfortunately, they don't give you anything. A used notebook costs less than 200 euro. Why do you want something new?

Why simply so that I can use it for a longer period of time

No, you get unemployment benefits to cover your daily needs. You can use it to buy a laptop yourself.

Even an older notebook can last a very long time. You only need it until you have a job, then you can buy something new with your salary? Sounds logical right?

You may have claims!

Smartphone, honestly, there are simpler things, but you can also use it to write and send good emails.

Claims wasn't just a question of whether they would do it or not.

No, they definitely don't do that! They don't pay unnecessary luxury.

Could have been because I'm unemployed for the first time in 6 years, so I just didn't know why my question was

In addition: a PC or laptop is part of every normal household item. I don't understand why you don't have one.

I have one but is at least 15 years old that does not open is just broken because nothing works anymore

Then it was time for something new.

Yes that's why my question? I don't understand why they are making such a riot now. Bad

In any case, you can claim the application costs. A laptop of your own will probably not be there anyway. (Regardless of whether ALG 1 or 2)

To get the costs reimbursed you have to consider the following things:

If an EGV states that you should write a certain number of applications per month, make sure that the reimbursement of the application costs is guaranteed ("we will reimburse the costs in the amount of (lump sum or proof)" not "we can reimburse the costs incurred") . In the second case it would only be an achievement which usually means that you are left with the costs. Do not sign without confirmation.
Submit a counter-proposal if the EGV does not guarantee the costs. If you do not go into it and issue the EGV as an administrative act of integration, you should immediately lodge an objection and apply for suspensive effect to the social court (lawyer specializing in social law should take care of it). Makes sense with ALG 2 and low ALG 1.
When the reimbursement is finally guaranteed, always remember to submit the application for reimbursement BEFORE not only when costs have already been incurred (also applies to the application for travel expenses!). If you reject the application, file an objection.
If you still receive a mediation proposal with legal consequences without EGV, you can still have the costs reimbursed. For this, as mentioned above, submit the application beforehand. Support yourself on § 16 SGB II in connection with § 44 SGB III and § 39 SGB 1 sentence 1. Everything is based on § 3 SGB 1. Applications can be printed out online or you can write them yourself.
If they refer you to email or phone applications but you don't want to, you don't have to. If the office knows your number immediately apply for deletion and inform that you can no longer be reached at the number and e-mail.

In the case of voluntary applications and higher ALG 1 benefits, the reimbursement from the office is voluntary. You can of course still try and submit an application.

And if they refer you to the BIS, claim travel expenses.
