The Asylum Seekers Benefits Act ensures, upon application, the necessary provision of food, accommodation, heating, clothing, health care, household goods and consumables, as well as the necessities of daily life, provided that the applicant is unable to cover these costs from their own resources.
Furthermore, necessary benefits are provided in the event of illness, pregnancy, and childbirth. If the municipality has not acceded to the framework agreement of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, it issues its own treatment certificates for medical or dental treatment and also settles these directly with the service provider.
Foreign nationals who are actually residing in Germany and who
- have a residence permit under the Asylum Act,
- wish to enter via an airport and are not or not yet permitted to enter,

Entitlement to benefits ends upon departure or at the end of the month in which
- the eligibility requirements no longer apply or
- the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) has recognized the foreigner as entitled to asylum or a court has obliged the Federal Office to grant recognition.
The implementation of the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act is assigned to district administrations in Rhineland-Palatinate and to city administrations in independent cities as a mandatory task of self-government.
