ACTIVATION AND PLACEMENT VOUCHER (AVGS)

Where is the AVGS regulated by law?

The Act to Improve Integration Opportunities for the Unemployed regulates the introduction of the AVGS from 1 April 2012 in place of the placement voucher.

What is the AVGS for?

With the AVGS, you can engage a private employment agency of your choice. If the private placement agent finds you a job, he or she will be paid by the employment agency or the relevant job centre.

Where can I get an AVGS?

With the AVGS, you can engage a private employment agency of your choice. If the private placement agent finds you a job, he or she will be paid by the employment agency or the relevant job centre.

Who can apply for an AVGS?

Anyone who is registered as a jobseeker with their responsible benefit provider can apply for an AVGS. In addition to recipients of Unemployment Benefit I (here after 6 weeks legal entitlement) and Unemployment Benefit II, this also includes:
- Non-benefit recipients registered as jobseekers
- Self-employed or returning to work
- Students and trainees looking for a job
- Soldiers at the end of their military service
- Employees in transfer and rescue companies

How long is an AVGS valid for?

The AVGS can be limited in terms of region and time, but is generally valid for up to 6 months as long as no circumstances occur that cause the basis for entitlement to be cancelled (e.g. taking up employment, change from unemployment benefit I to unemployment benefit II or termination of job search).

It is expressly pointed out that this information does not constitute legal advice in accordance with the Legal Advice Act.
