Relief package 2022: From when the energy flat rate of 300 euros ends up in my account – pensioners get nothing
Due to the rising prices in the energy sector, the federal government waived the energy flat rate of 300 euros with the 2022 relief package. With that she wants politics financially support all employees in Germany – it is “only” available to employees who are subject to income tax and who are classified in tax brackets 1 to 5, mini-jobbers who are taxed at a flat rate, traders and the self-employed. According to the current status, pensioners are left empty-handed – but the CSU wants to change that.

Relief package 2022: when will the child bonus be paid out?
Since families suffer particularly from the increased costs in everyday life, a child bonus for 2022 was also decided as part of the relief package. The additional one-time payment of 100 euros per child is made through a subsidy towards child benefit. This will be increased by 100 euros in July.

The 9-euro ticket for bus and train and the tank discount complete the relief package, they have been valid since the beginning of June 2022. However, the two forms of aid have extremely different effects: the The 9-euro ticket is very popular nationwide, so for example over Pentecost many trains were completely overcrowded.
The tank discount, on the other hand, does not seem to have any effect. Just a few days after its introduction, diesel cost over two euros again.
Politicians are calling for a new relief package: the CSU and the left want more grants for consumers
Overall, the Germans have so far been rather dissatisfied with the relief package. It is not possible to say whether this is due to the fact that much of the aid is not yet financially noticeable because it has not yet been paid out. The fact is, however, that three quarters of Germans, according to the survey, are of the opinion that the federal government is doing too little to relieve citizens of the rising prices.
For this reason, individual parties are now demanding another relief package, including the CSU. But also the Linke insists on a new subsidy of 125 euros – per month.
